Ash class have been learning about the moon this term. During our art lessons, we looked at the features of the moon and using chalks, we smudged and blended to make marks and shapes. We also tried to show light and dark areas.
Next, we learnt how to use paint to mix different shades of grey using a tonal chart. We slowly added black to white on strips of paper, and found out that our colour gets slightly darker each time. We were very careful not to add too much black at first, as we found out that our grey was too dark. Ask us how we overcame that challenge! Using our colour knowledge and painting skills, we then created our fabulous moon artwork.
