Art | The Gruffalo

Our art task is to recreate the cover of the Gruffalo story which is the story we have been using to visualise, infer and make connections. 

First, we were given different areas of the picture to colour in using pastels. We discussed a method called 'blending' where we use different colours to create a type of shading that makes the picture more detailed.

Then, (in groups) we started to colour in the picture. There were certain exceptions to our art such as: black pastel comes last because it is the darkest colour, use a paper towel to blend colours and use a cotton-bud to blend small areas of the picture.

For this task, we worked together with other groups to make sure that the end result would fit together.

This activity is two weeks worth of art.

I enjoyed this art lesson very much and I think the art piece came out very well.
