Room 11 Self Portraits

We completed our pastel and dye portraits today. They are 3 D as we put a little spring at the back of the head to make the portrait pop from the backing.
Can you guess who is who?

Room 12's Fabulous Faces!

Today for art we started creating some 'fabulous faces'.
The skills we were learning was blending colours and looking at different tones.
Firstly, Mr Hull took an individual photo of all the children in the class. Secondly they were printed off in black and white - check one of them out...

We then studied the different shades on our faces - light right through to dark. We realised that some of the changes in tone were very gradual.
Using white, yellow, orange, brown and black crayons we started to shade in these tones. The light tones were shaded white, the next increase in tone yellow and so on and so forth...
This is what we got up to...

Doesn't it look great! We will publish more pics as they are finished - just the dying to do on them now!
