WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING THE WATERCOLOUR?

 We have been working  on these Escher inspired tile patterns for a few weeks now.  The complexity of the designs really surprised me, the children got so much detail in, I was worried that they would be frightened to add colour in case they obliterated it.
 My first instinct was to have the children use coloured pencil to colour a light layer on the repeated pattern, and some did.....and they looked very nice......

But then in the back of a drawer, I found "BRUSHO". ( It probably has many other names in different places)  I thought its watery qualities would be just the thing to use.......  and it was....... 

  

And now I can't put it down   "BRUSHO RULES!"

SAY HELLO TO AUTUMN "BRUSHO" LEAVES

This talented child is only 5!

AND A LITTLE BIT OF HALLOWEEN

Some of me younger classes drew a spooky house first before the blew a tree shape

And they all enjoyed spraying the watercolour with the toothbrushes, although we did have a few sprayed the wrong way and had spotty faces for the rest of the day!
