Over the past few weeks we have been learning about ‘painting’ in our art lessons. We learnt how to name and label parts of a paintbrush and we sorted our paintbrushes by size. We learnt to use the ‘dip, dip, dab’ technique to help us have better control when using paint. We have to dip our paintbrush in water, tap off the excess and dip the brush into the paint. We then dab the brush onto our plain pallet before starting to paint on our page. By holding our paintbrush like a pencil, we learnt that it helps us to have great control of where we want toe paint to go.
We have begun learning about the artist Mondrian and using his art work to inspire our art pieces. We cannot wait to complete our final art piece over the next few weeks.
