Each pupil was given two primary colours + white and encouraged to make as many colours as possible to create a colour scheme, or a colour family. These skulls, painted at Eassie primary were based on Mexican sugar skulls. Note our informal WALTS, (what We Are Learning To do).
These Cortachy Primary paintings are based on the paintings of the Scottish artist George Birrell.
The school situated within the idyllic Cortachy Estate and Cortachy
Castle is on the doorstep, not just providing a stunning backdrop, but
lending the children magnificent walks and a picnic spot to outdo most.

I like both of these projects. I really like the idea of only giving the children 2 primary colors and white. The results are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt really makes them explore the colours. The resulting colour scheme is always pleasing.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm one of the few teachers that loves using tempera disc paints. I use them with Grades 1-6. They store easily, they last forever, and if the students keep them clean, the colours stay vibrant and there's very little clean-up or paint waste involved. You're right- it's all in using them the correct way.
ReplyDeleteLove both of these projects! I teach Kindergarten & first grade art and I think we'll definitely paint some castles this year! Love them on black paper!
