COOL COLOURS /WARM COLOURS

We have been learning about different types of colours. We have learned that there are COOL colours (blue, purple, green, grey, ...) and WARM colours (red, yellow, orange, brown...). To work on these concepts, we made a painting choosing either cool colours or warm colours. Since we were also working on our ocean unit, we decided our painting will represent four oceans made with patterns and just 3 colours. Here you are the result:

OUR HALLOWEEN ACTIVITY: WITCH´S LEGS

For Halloween, and as a follow up activity to our Halloween story ("Room on the broom", by Julia Donaldson),  we decided to design some witch´s tights with Halloween motifs and patterns. We doodled, drew, cut, and pasted. It was fun and our hall looked very cool with all those witch´s legs around!// Por Halloween, y como actividad complementaria al cuento "Room on  the broom", decidimos diseñar medias de bruja con motivos de Halloween. Dibujamos, recortamos, pegamos... Fue muy divertido y nuestro pasillo quedó genial con piernas de brujas por todos lados.



Here you are the scheme and planning of the activity if you'd like to see it.

COLOURING FOAM: A FUN EXPERIMENT!

Here is our first Art experience and experiment. After having read, listened and watched how colours do magic wen you mix them, we wanted to experience it by ourselves. We decided to do it in a different way, WATCH OUR VIDEO! // Aquí está nuestro primer experimento plástico de este curso. Tras haber leído, escuchado y visto cómo actúan los colores al mezclarlos, decidimos experimentarlo nosotros mismos. Decidimos hacerlo de una forma diferente, usando espuma y colorante alimentario, aquí tenéis el vídeo de nuestra actividad.



After doing the activityu, we did some reflection on our experience. Here is the reflection sheet we used for it. // Tras el experimento, reflexionamos sobre lo que habíamos aprendido. Aquí está la hoja de registro de lo aprendido que utilizamos.

AN INTRODUCTION - "LITTLE BLUE, LITTLE YELLOW"

To introduce the Art lessons this year, we started with this story: "Little blue, little yellow" and the beautiful animation below //Para presentar las clases de plástica este año, empezamos con la historia "Pequeño azul, pequeño amarillo" y esta preciosa animación.
