In our art lessons recently, we have been working hard to update the artwork for our corridor displays. The theme for this term is British Artists. In Year 3 we have enjoyed reading a number of different Roald Dahl stories, which are famously illustrated by Quentin Blake.
We therefore decided to recreate one of Quentin Blake's most iconic images - The Grand High Witch from Roald Dahl's 'The Witches.' We were lucky to have the ladies from Art Base to help us with our work.
First, we made a pencil sketch of the witches, taking care to get the shapes and positions of the heads right. Then, we blended watercolours to match the original painting, and coloured in our drawings. After that, we made a simple blue colourwash for the background, trying to avoid too many harsh edges. Finally, we picked out the outlines in black ink, which really made our drawings come to life!
Here is a selection of our finished pieces, which are now decorating the corridor outside Year 3. We hope you enjoy looking at them!
