Artists once more - Moortown Primary School, Leeds

After our Katie and… Big Topic, we had a bit of a break from art… but it’s back!

We started off using different types of pencils to sketch Tudor houses. We really tried to capture the dark strips of the buildings and their often wonky shapes.

Then we went very abstract! We looked at Jackson Pollock’s Number 8 which was a great contrast to the real-life sketches we’d created. Using all things bubbly, we created our own bubbly backgrounds for our serious Tudor houses. It was great fun and our finished pieces, when we combined the two, will follow.

Mix paint, water and washing up liquid. Blow into it with a straw and the bubbles climb to the top.

Place your paper on top to print the bubbly pattern.

Mix paint and bubble mixture. Then, low the bubbles onto the paper so that they pop!

You can even have lots of you doing it at once!

Cover bubble wrap in paint and print it onto the paper. Or roll bubble-filled sponges and see what patterns they make.
