The boys, in a recent art lesson, painted an Autumn tree in a step by step process. Today's lesson was a little bit different!
Unfortunately, the windy weather changed our plan for today's lesson a little bit, but as always, there was a plan B. A photograph of the tree which we were supposed to be painting was put up on out white board, and the boys had to do an observational drawing of the tree in our school.

They had to remember that an observational drawing is drawing not what you know, but what you can see in front of you.

This week, the boys were challenged to make an autumn art piece with a difference. They were invited to use the Autumn coloured paint to create an Autumn tree - the twist? They had to look like the leaves were falling from the tree in the Autumn wind.

They had to concentrate a lot on the perspective of the piece, and a great way of making the leaves look as if they were blowing in the wind was to make the leaves furthest away from the tree bigger than those closer to the tree.

               Perspective: The further away an object is, the smaller it seems!!


Have a look at some of the pieces the boys worked on! :)
