Room 4 students were super-excited to learn that we had been asked to produce some art work to help decorate the South Otago Theatrical rooms for the up-and-coming play that Mrs O is involved in. We got straight to work yesterday and created some visual masterpieces. Firstly, Mrs O showed us a sunflower painting that her grandmother had done and we talked about how the artist had made the painting look really effective - the use of space, shape of the sunflowers, colour-mixing... The first step was to draw out our design with chalk and then we painted our background first, using a variety of tools - sponges, brushes and fingers. After lunch, when our backgrounds were completely dry, we set to work to complete the sunflowers. We focused really hard on trying to mix colours as we painted.

It's exciting to know that over 700 people will see our art work over the next two weeks!!
