DRAWING IN GROUPS

For this activity, we made groups of four students randomly in order to draw a drawing all together. However, it was not a normal drawing: each student had to draw a quarter of the drawing separately and they had to discus, agree and cooperate in order to make all the quarters correspond to each other.

To do this activity, we used cardboard, pencils and black markers to draw it and then go over it, and chalk pastels to paint it. 

Here we can see the drawings of the students of 5th gade:

WATERCOLOUR DRAWING

Today, we will work with watercolour. However, before using the watercolour, we will design a silhouette on a scrap paper.

Once we have decided the silhouette that we will draw, we will paint it with black marker on a painting paper and next we will start using the watercolour.

On one of the widest sides of the paper, we will paint stripes (8 cm long approximately) with different tones of the same kind of colours (warm colours, cold colours, different kind of green/blue/red…). Each time that we will paint a stripe, we will blow de paper in order to move the extra watercolour all around the paper.

It’s nice if the colours of the watercolours that we choose and the silhouette that we draw are related, for example: using blue watercolours and drawing a silhouette having an umbrella; or red colours and drawing something burning.
