We have loved learning new skills in art with Mrs Barnett this term. Our topic was drawing. We read the story of ‘The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark’ by Jill Tomlinson. We talked about and explored ways of showing different textures and used different marks with paint to create our own pictures of Plop the Owl. We found out about different kinds of pencils and investigated the different marks we could make when using them. Our favourite pencil was a 4B because it was so soft and we could shade really well with it. Mrs Barnett and Miss Bird brought in some of their old toys and told us all about them. We created arrangements of the toys and then used our skills to draw the toys. We hope you like our pictures.
