Year 1 Art
Fri 18 Feb 2022Year 1 have been exploring why colour is important in their art lessons this week. They found out that colour could affect their mood. They created a sad and happy rainbow using the colours that affect how they feel. To create the sad rainbow, they used colours that are cool and for a happy rainbow they used warm colours. After that, they created self-portraits using colours to show how they were feeling: yellow for happy, blue for sad, green for envy, red for love or anger, purple for excited.
