Painting!

Today Room 8 got to have a play with some paint!

We learnt how to create a tint. This is when you add white to a colour.








 We also made shades. This is when you add black to a colour.






 We were amazed how many different colours we could make from brown! When a picture is all one colour, but different tints and shades we call it monochromatic.

LJ, Savannah and Ardyn won the prize for having the cleanest pallet :)  

Then we had a chance to experiment with mixing colours and creating texture. We tried to use our paintbrush to make our paint look like feathers.




 Next we will start painting our birds!
