2S - Art: Wonderful Wirral

Lesson: Art and design

Today we used charcoal and oil pastels to sketch ships and lighthouses in the style of Alfred Wallis.  We found out that charcoal is VERY messy and smudges easily!
We then discussed the colours Alfred Wallis used in his paintings and discussed the meaning of tones, tints and shades.  We then had a go at creating our own tones, tints and shades of our chosen hue of blue which we will use in our final piece for the sea.
