Art

For the last week or so Room 8 has been working on a technique called Scraffitto.
It was a long progress but we have created some fantastic pieces of Art.
First we had to plan a 'village or hill scene' with pencil.
Then we had to pastel over it using bright colours and blending the pastel.
Next we painted over piece by piece of our scene in black paint. We used a toothpick to scratch the paint away so the bright pastel colours came through.
We tried to be creative with the patterns we scratched out.

Some of us created another piece of art this time using square or triangle patterns of coloured pastel. We used the scraffitto technique again to stratch out patterns. IT WAS VERY TRICKY!
