At Artclub today we made the most of the beautiful weather and painted outdoors.
We worked in two groups. The first group experimented with mixing colours. We started with our primary colours (red, blue and yellow) and combining two of these colours, mixed our secondary colours (green, orange, purple). We added white to lighten some of the colours and painted all our colours on to cut-out shapes that will make up a giant collaborative butterfly. We made some lovely colours and we invented names for them, such as "Chocolate Brownie", "Sunset Orange", "Pinky Pink" and there truly was a "Sky Blue Pink"! We had great fun and could not resist mixing all the colours together which resulted in a purply brown.
The other group painted their salt - dough models made last week. These were butterflies or dragonflies. We used some lovely bright colours and lots of glitter. We then added some sequins to decorate them, remembering to keep the pattern symmetrical.
Half way through the the session we swapped over, so we had a turn at both activities.
Here are our fabulous creations. Hope you like them.
