Art

Last term in art we looked at cool colours and warm colours. 

We began by looking at the colour wheel. We learnt about primary colours and mixed these together to make new colours.  (Secondary colours). Once we designed our own colour wheel we sorted these into warm and cool colours. 

We then painted large sheets of paper. One warm colours and the other cool colours.

                             

                                          

Miss Grant then taught us how to weave. We did lots of practicing on scrap pieces of paper.  

Then we got to weave our two sheets of paper together. Don't they look fantastic?
