Watercolours
We've been experimenting with different techniques to create art using watercolour paints. We tried splatter, wax resist, dabbing techniques and experimented using salt to create different effects.

Wizard of Oz Roleplay
Our topic this term is The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Today we've been exploring the different characters, focusing on the Lion. We particularly analyzed how his character changed from ferocious to cowardly when Dorothy stood up to him. We acted out the scene and used hot-seating and freeze frame techniques to really get inside the character's head.
Paul Klee
To round off our watercolour unit in Art, we created art work inspired by Swiss artist, Paul Klee. We studied a variety of his art and discussed how we felt about it and what we noticed. We focused particularly on 'Castle and Sun' (1928) and used our new wax-resist skills to create lines and watercolours to paint over - noticing how watery paint settled on the paper and not on the wax.
