LC8's Scarecrows...

Colour Wheel Scarecrows

I have found a wonderful website that is packed with ideas for the visual arts! The website shows examples of children's art work and what the particular art concept is being taught. "deepspacesparkle.blogspot.com". It is from this website that I found my next art lesson.. LC8 learnt about mixing primary colours to create secondary colours through a creating their very own colour wheel scarecrow. Lots of fun... very mess... no pencil allowed...enjoy

Complementary Colours..

Complementary colours are colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel. We learnt that each primary colour sits opposite a secondary colour, and that each warm colour sits opposite to a cool colour. We explored complemenary colours through the creation of Maori tiki design. The children also incoporated maths knowlegde (fractions and geometry) along side the art knowledge learnt.
