Term 3 - Art - Painting and mixed media 12th Feb 2026
30 images

In this unit, the children explored painting by learning to mix tints and shades and investigating how adding black or white changed a colour. They applied this knowledge to create three‑dimensional effects in their artwork and experimented with different painting techniques to produce contrasting textures and marks. The children practised arranging objects to form an effective still-life composition, sketching their ideas carefully before creating a final painting. Throughout the unit, they focused on using colour, light, and shadow accurately, painting with care and control to produce recognisable and well‑structured still‑life artwork.
