Exploring Blue and Painting

We are working on a mixed media picture whic uses paint and collage.  Our theme is sheep and we will be linking our art to what we know about the natural fibre - WOOL!
We loved folding our own newspaper palates and mixing our own shades of blue (and later green).  We discovered that more white created a lighter, softer blue and less white a stronger blue.  Some children also tinted with black.  We then etched the shape of wind blowing onto our blue backgrounds.  We tried to keep our clothes and our carpet as clean as we could!!!
