Our Art project for this half term was to create a silk painting representing different elements of the Polar regions. Here you can see the children adding the final details to their painting. As a class we learnt a lot about mixing colours, using gutta and painting with precision as silk paint is extremely watery and can spread fast. The children were amazed at how fast a drop of silk paint would spread and then understood why we needed gutta to create a barrier to stop the colours from mixing.
