Grade 6's
St Basil's Cathedral at sunset -
No pencils allowed!!
The Grade
6's looked at the amazing St Basils Cathedral in Russia that was commissioned
by Ivan the Terrible. In this project pupils were not allowed to draw in pencil
first. This was a very good learning experience for them and they learned that
you cannot make "mistakes" in art! Incorrect lines could be made
into interesting patterns and designs!
Repetition of patterns and shapes filled the buildings, while the background was painted in watercolours.
Crosses and domes sprang to life with gold glitter! Well done Grade 6's! These were
amazing! Thanks to deepspacesparkleblog.com for inspiration on this
lesson.
