CITY SKYLINE
There are a lot of types of landscapes: coast, mountains, river, lake, desert, town, cities...
In the last lesson of Art, 5th grade students drew a city skyline. To do this activity they followed some steps:
- Fold the paper
- Draw a city skyline on one half of the paper
- Trace it with wax crayons
- Fold the paper again and press (this action transfers the city skyline on the other half of the paper)
- Colour the landscape using ready-mixed paint mixed with water. Add extra water when colouring the reflection.

TINTS AND SHADES
We can create tints mixing a colour with white colour.
We can create shades mixing a colour with black colour.
6th grade students coloured 6 sections of a paper with three tints and three shades. The 7th section was coloured with brown colour.
Next day, they will cut and glue the papers in the correct order and the brown section will be the cone of the ice cream. I will upload pictures, I promise!

WINTER TREES
Last week, 5th grade students did another activity based on lanscapes.
They had to colour a winter lanscape using ready-mixed paint mixed with water (to make it watery).
Then, they had to "draw" the trees using a straw and brown watery ready-mixed paint. They had to blow and "make" the trees. Look at the pictures:

GUSTAV KLIMT FORESTS
Two weeks ago, 5th grade students started working on a new unit: LANDSCAPES. To start the unit, they did an activity based on Gustav Klimt forests.
To do this activity they followed some steps:
- They put sticky tape on the paper to make the trees.
- They coloured the sky and the ground using different colour combinations (spring forest, summer forest, autumn forest...)
- They took out the sticky tape.
- They coloured the trees using grey, brown or ocre.
And the result is...THIS!

COLOUR WHEEL AND SHAPES
Two weeks ago, 6th grade students did an activity based on the colour wheel. They had to draw a shape 10 times and colour each one with a different colour. After this, they had to glue the shapes in the correct colour order.
The result is amazing! They did a great job.
This is the model I showed to them:

COLOUR WHEEL
This activity is based on the colour wheel. We used ready-mixed paint to colour it and the result was amazing!
Students had to colour each section of the paper using a colour from the colour wheel. The important thing was that they had to colour the sections following the correct order!

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS (again!)
Yesterday, 6th grade students did their second activity about complementary colours. Here you have an example:
They had to choose a shape to draw on each space and then, they had to colour (with ready-mixed paint or wax crayons) three of them using the following combinations:
blue and orange
yellow and violet
red and green
Students were able to choose the fourth combination. They did an amazing work!
