Grade 9 are currently developing painting techniques using acrylic paints. The landscape paintings of Vincent Van Gogh are great pieces to learn from and to understand how to create a textured surface through the layering of thin washes, the students develop technique and skill and continue to build up thicker layers of paint to create the textured surfaces well known in van Gogh’s artwork.
The work is looking really fabulous and finished work will be published if students are happy to show their work.
The still life collection in the art room is in need of refreshing. If anyone has any driftwood, old frayed rope, seed pods, rusty mechanical objects green/blue glass bottles bring them along to the art room they will be greatly appreciated.
