We’ve all tried something new this week. Our art project, linked to our Life topic, has been to create a new hybrid animal and then paint it onto silk. None of us had ever tried silk painting before and we all enjoyed doing something new.
Once we’d designed our new animal, we drew it on silk before going over our design in ‘gutta’. This is an outline which hold the paint inside the lines of your drawing. We practised on paper before using the gutta on silk.
Once our outline was complete, we painted the silk and loved watching how the colours would merge and bleed into each other to create a lovely effect.
What do you think of our final paintings?
