Gruffalo Art Work | Art Collaboration

For art, we re-created the gruffalo cover as a class. We learnt new skills during these past few weeks colouring in the art work.

First, we were given out different pieces of paper that would make the gruffalo cover. The first technique that was demostrated to us was the blendng technique. The blending technique is to sumge different colours to make texture or to get a shade. We used pastels to colour in and cotten tips to help spread the pastels around and to blend.

Next, we started outlining the parts with black. The second technique we learnt was how to colour in the tree trunks. To do this we coloured all the tree trunks in brown. Then we started shading some parts of the tree trunks and then started blending it with the brown.

Lastly, we learnt how to colour in the leaves. To do this I coloured all the leaves in green. Then I added white and then started blending it until it made the colour I wanted.

I found this activity challenging because it's really hard to try and colour inside the lines.
