Amazing Artwork…

We thoroughly enjoyed our art project this week and what beautiful work we produced!

After reading the story ‘The Spider Weaver’, we were inspired to create our own ‘wondrous web’ just like the one that the characters saw in the story.

We began by experimenting with different techniques using the oil pastels including: hatching, cross hatching, drawing zig-zag, curved and dashed lines. This then helped us when it came to creating our own webs. To help us, we looked at some photos of spider webs and imitated the designs.

We then used the water colour paints to add a wash to the background. We used green as in the story, the web that the characters found was in a banana tree.

We then added some more details to our webs using the oil pastels before adding sequins. To finish, we used the running stitch to add some texture to our designs.

Our webs are all unique just like the webs that spiders create and how amazing they look!
