We began this fun lesson by looking at different sorts of bikes. We talked about the need to draw 'big' for this one and to choose a part of the bike to draw. For the older children this was an easy concept but for the younger few they needed help to fully grasp this idea. We used small cardboard frames that could help with the selection of the part of the bike selected to draw.
Part 2 was the deciding on the primary colour and then mixing tints and tones to paint into the negative spaces.
Part three was painting the bike with the secondary opposite colour - complementary colour. The process was simply wonderful and the results were fabulous. Great stuff .
This little boy is 6 years old and he worked so hard and carefully as he drew and enjoyed sloshing on the paint into the negative spaces.
If I lived in Cape Town, I would take art lessons with this teacher! She is one of the most talented people I know!
