‘Twas the Night Before Christmas!

We created a Christmas collage based on the Poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.  We used fabric for the rug, stockings, Santa Claus and Santa’s toy sack.  We created the rest of our collage with card.  It was great fun, we hope Santa likes them! 2nd & 3rd Class  


Drawing from Observation

We drew a fruit bowl from observation.  Then we coloured it in using waterpencils.  We looked at where the light was on the fruit and we tried to use shading techniques with the colouring pencils.  We made the colour darker by adding more colour and less water.


Winter Art

  We talked about the season of winter.  We learned about the different types of weather we have in Ireland during winter. We looked at some real winter scenes and some winter paintings on the whiteboard.  They were beautiful. Then we created our own winter scene and we painted it!  We took some photos of them. 2nd & 3rd Class
