A New Year at Enrich


Its Week 7, term 1, 2011
This is my painting of an Avocado and two pears. This type of painting is called 'Still Life'
Do you like it? I hope you do, I'm proud of this painting because I've never used acrylic paint before. There was a plate of fruit with a light shining on it to give shadow. We had to think carefully about adding shading to our painting. We watched a youtube clip before we started so that we could get the shapes and shading right. Even the easels were set up in different angles to the fruit so that we all had different views to work from and to show different shading.
This year is a whole lot different than last year because there are yr 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the same day! Plus since week 2 we have all been managing our own time and going to the workshops we would like to do!

  2. Alex you worked very carefully on this piece of art thinking about your shadow, shading and colours. The result is great and it looks fantastic framed and on the wall too. You should be proud.
    I hope you are enjoying the new challenges that Enrich is giving you this year with the family groupings and the flexible timetable with managing your own time and choosing your own workshops.
