Birds

Birds **__Learning Intention:__ To demonstrate an understanding of blending and mixing colours. To demonstrate an understanding of warm and cool colours.

__Materials:__ Pastels Chalk Indian ink Small/large paint brushes.

__Method:__ 1. Using photocopied sheets of bird's beaks, wings and feet sketch several examples of each. 2. Add the features together to make your own imaginary bird. 3. Enlarge the bird onto white paper using chalk. The chalk needs to be quite thick. 4. Discuss and demonstrate the blending of two colours. Discuss using warm and cool colours next to each other. 5. Once blending is completed have the children use Indian ink to cover the chalk lines. 6. The background can be painted with ink lastly. 7. Give the artwork a PVA wash which helps to make it shiny.**
