Canvas+flowers

Canvas flowers **__Learning Intention:__ Students will be able to draw simple flower patterns. Able to manipulate the brush using the correct grip and stroke.

__Material:__ Small canvas Small paint brushes. Warm and cool paint colours Vivid pens

__Method:__ 1. Observe and discuss the patterns used in the artists work. 2. Practise using the flower symbol and add different patterns in and around the flower. 3. On small squares of paper, demonstrate the brush grip and how to drag the paint along a line. 4. Discuss the use and meaning of warm and cool colours. Have the children design their colour scheme in their sketchbooks using colour pencils. 5. Student's re draw their flower patterns onto the canvas and begin painting. 6. These will need 2 layers of paint. Once dry use a vivid pen to hide the pencil lines. 7. Spray with varnish to seal and shine. These can be framed individually or grouped together. . **
