Shapinsay School

We created shading artwork by painting an A3 sheet of paper, we shaded the colours together and made it darker at the top and bottom and blended the two colours in the middle. Then we picked an animal picture and we either traced it or cut it out onto another sheet of coloured paper.

Here are some pictures of the tracing and cutting out process.

Here we are with our finished work, which is on display in the school.

We drew zentangles which are drawings created using lines and filled with patterns.

Here are some of our finished zentangles.

The older class made clay models, first we designed them with paper. Then we made nets which is the basic shape of the model. After that we cut the slabs to the right size. We joined the slabs with slip and clay to form the 3D shapes. Once we created the models and finished adding details, we left them to dry for a few weeks, then we painted them. Our learning intentions were to be able to connect clay slabs and make nets for our models.
