Tones of colour with pirate silhouettes

Year 2 have had a busy start to their art curriculum this year. They have identified primary colours and mixed secondary. This was followed by them using watercolours to create tones of colour. The children then used their newly acquired skills to create a tonal background for their pirate inspired final pieces.

The children cut silhouettes of pirate ships with billowing sails.

Cutting skills were really put to the test!

Tarandeep was very pleased with his design.

Imran had a very stormy sea!

Juveria added birds and clouds to her design.

Amaana's palm tree was rather super.

Jaydon's perseverance paid off!

Mubeen was really impressed with hie independent work.

The children all worked really hard to create their final pieces of which they were all really chuffed with!!

Pirate adventures!

Year 2 had an amazing pirate adventure when Captain Burwash came to visit them. 

He brought with him some amazing artefacts!

The children thoroughly enjoyed getting to grips with some of the pirate artefacts.

They helped Captain Burwash create a pirate flag for his new pirate ship ...well... one that he had stolen apparently!

Parents really enjoyed working alongside their children.

They helped them to create some fabulous flag designs.

It was a super day that helped them to enhance their understanding of pirates and the way they lived. A huge thank you to all parents who attended. We know the children had a great time!

Toning up

Year 2 have been looking at tones of colour in their art work. They used watercolours for the first time and small brushes to help them to create their tones of colour.

They were very careful applying the colours and worked hard to fade their colours using small amounts of paint and water.

Safaa produced some beautiful tones in her work.

Zayan concentrated really hard .

They gad examples of toned colours to refer to.

The whole class enjoyed experimenting freely with the colours they were given.

Once they have mastered toning with colours they will then use this skill to create silhouette painting with pirate ships and palm trees in their next lesson.
