Sunset in Paradise:
I presented the Year 6 students with a photograph of a sunset on a tropical island.  We sketched the scene together as a group with pencil and then I explained that they had to pretend they were standing on a beach looking out to sea.
Once they had sketched their ideas I introduced charcoal and showed them how to use a small paint brush to blend.




Once this was completed I introduced Chalk Pastels and they used the same techniques as they did with the charcoal to complete a coloured version.  I laminated this piece as I didn't want the work smudged.
