Gruffalo Art

For art, we drew sections of the The Gruffalo cover as a class. We learnt new skills during the couple of weeks we did this. 

First, we got chosen to a peice of paper to color. The first technique we got taught was the blending. To do the blending technique we smudge colours together to get a shade or texture. We used a paper towel to blend in the big parts and little cotton tips to blend the small details.

After that, we started to colour in the lines and thought about the colours, details and technique. The second technique we learnt was how to get the light colour for the grass. To do this we went with white and covered the area. Then we got green and coloured on top of the white. Then got white again and coloured over the green to blend the colours.

The last skill we learnt was how to make the colour of the path. The path was difficult to blend. The colours we used were, yellow, gold and peach. We went in with the peach colour and covered the area with it. Then we used yellow and a small part of gold to get the colour. 

I think that this activity was challenging and I found it difficult to make the path. I would like to improve on my blending skill.
