Beautiful Artwork!

Last week, we learned all about the power of observation in Art. We looked closely at our hands and focused on drawing then painting what we could actually see, rather than what we thought our hands should look like.

We noted the shape and length of our fingers, the lines on our hands, the variety of colours (particularly noticing that no one's hands are all one colour!) and the areas of our hands that were hit by light or had darker shadows.

We spotted many colours in our skintones; blues, purples, greens, yellows and reds. We spent a long time mixing and blending colours and showing where the highlights and shadows on our hands were.

 The most effective final pieces were made by children who had really taken the time to look closely, rather than drawing and painting what they thought a hand 'should' look like. Great work!
