Finally managed to do some 'real' art this week with the children. In y5 today they had a go at creating some paintings as a whole group. They each had one colour and were instructed to paint half of the paper.
The 'painting' was then passed to another person who, using their colour, painted half of the remaining space. And so on and so on until the whole sheet was blocked in.
They then started to add stripes, again passing the paintings around. We had taped the sheets to thin boards to both keep the paper flat and aid easy movement.
Next, they added spots (using cotton buds to apply the paint.
To further enhance the pieces, the children used felt pens to draw lines, stars etc.
The resulting pieces were a riot of colour and pattern. 32 children = 32 abstract artworks.
We're thinking of using them to create lengths of bunting.
