5E's primary colour pointillism experimentation

Prior to visiting Whipsnade Zoo, 5E experimented with pointillism techniques in order to learn about what techniques worked most effectively. After the visit, the children used their knowledge to create pointillism art of their favourite animal at the zoo.

Below are stages in their learning. We began by creating secondary and tertiary colours using our colour wheel knowledge. We followed this by experimenting with cotton buts, cocktail sticks, pencils and paintbrushes in order to create different pointillism effects. We finished our experimentation by creating our animals in a collage of their natural habitat.

Below you can find Chanel and Yeganeh's colour wheels, Daneel and Malakai's pointillism tool experimentation and finally Leo and Daneel's animals.
