Australian Landscapes

Grades 5 & 6 students were inspired by a tour of NVG: Ian Potter, and a related workshop. This included the gumleaf activity using watercolour pencils.

• Back at school the colour wheel was studied and colour mixing explored
• Students created their own colour maps to avoid the 'How did I make that colour?' syndrome.
• A range of brush and palette techniques were explored
• Resources included a wide variety of prints and photographs of Australian scenes
• Students were encouraged to paint a scene of somewhere familiar or special to them
