Art

 This term for Art we have been looking at different types of ways to use watercolour we had to try and practise different techniques on a piece of paper. 

One of the techniques was dilution which is just adding water to paint which is what we had to do to start our water painting. Next we had to try Glazing which is like putting a thin line of paint over another thin like of paint. After that we had to try Layering which is like applying a premixed colour over another wash to change its intesitity. Next was value or tone which is the range from light to dark of a colour to determine shadows and highlights of an object. Next is Intensity which is a colour's saturation brightness or strength. Next is Tint which is created by adding water to  the orignal colour and like the more water added would make the colour weaker and less intense. Next is Movement which is the effect you get when you let the water move around the pigment on the page. Next is water into colour which is when you use water to mix the paint on a palette then onto paper. Next is Colour into water which is where you paint the page with water first then add colour into it and the paint only goes wherever the water is. 

A few weeks later we just got given a piece of paper and practised drawing different flowers with watercolour for the next few weeks we just practised drawing different flowers with different watercolour techniques. Heres a picture of my peice of paper but I didn't get to try every different technique so I only have a few on my paper. I know the flower is horrible but here it is.
