ARCHIVED Year 1 Blog 2024/25

Today was our first Art lesson on our new topic ‘Exploring Watercolour.’ We watched a video of an artist and looked at her work and she showed us some different techniques for using the watercolour paints. The children did some amazing work using the watercolours and experimented with mixing colours and using the tip and side of the brush. 

Today in Art we carried on with our printing. We used different objects and pushed them into plasticine to make moulds. We then put our moulds into ink pads and rolled the mould onto our paper. Some of our prints came out really and some we realised we had to push harder to make the print / shapes on the plasticine. We also realised we had to roll quite a lot of ink onto our moulds to make the prints come out clearly and detailed. A great lesson and everyone worked really hard to make their prints.
