Art Collaboration

For the past three weeks, LS1 has been collaborating with each other to complete an art piece of the Gruffalo cover, which is the text that we have been using to practice the strategies inferring, connecting and visualizing.

First, we were given different parts of the cover to colour in. We did this art piece using pastels and an art technique called 'blending'.

We discussed our ideas of blending and what it is. Blending makes colours fade into a darker or lighter shade. Blending can also make a colour fade into a different colour.

After that, we began to colour in our part of the art. We talked to other groups about the colours and worked together to make sure the art piece matched up to fit correctly. Groups talked to each other about the colour of the path, the grass, the trees and more.

The art piece has now been coloured in completely and is on the LS1 wall for display.

I enjoyed collaborating with other groups and learning how to blend colours. One thing I think I could improve on is knowing how to make different kinds of shades with the blending technique on different mediums.
