I am...

This term for art we have been focusing on wet mark making. During the term we looked at colours and mixing etc. To finish our unit we made an I am... poster. I tied this in with our Heroes by brainstorming the qualities heroes have and our own qualities.

We also looked at examples of other peoples work and included in our brainstorm activities that interest us or make us who we are.

I have wanted to do this art for ages so was pleased I finally got to. We began by marking the wavy lines - the requirement was at least 8. Children then painted them.

The next day once they had dried off the kids went over the lines with vivid. Then using a pencil they wrote their words in. This was a little bit of a difficult step for some getting the letters big enough and we did quite a bit of rubbing out. Once I was happy with the writing they then went over it in vivid.
