This year i believed the Year 6 students needed a challenge, needed to practice the skill of painting and also needed to stay committed and focused. This was the plan, i drew up a grid and then chose a simple seascape image. I restricted the colour palette to the primaries and also black, white and green- a secondary colour. The whole process was quite simple, you begin with pure colour (such as blue) and then slowly add white as your tint till the blue is saturated and it is more white than blue. Each square line makes u add more white, till no two squares next to each other are the same. After the sea water is filled / painted you can choose what colour your seaweed, fish and sand will become. These are my examples and i have to say, most students certainly found it challenging and certainly quite a lot more time consuming that they first thought. It certainly worked a treat for those student who committed and stayed focused, probably an art nightmare for those who couldn't! I thought it was a fabulous idea and loved painting my own example at the same time.....
-Below is the finished example..........
