Mark Making in Art

On Tuesday 11th January the children in Woodpecker class were tasked with using different tools to create particular types of mark. The children used straws, thick and thin paint brushes, glue spreaders, sticks, pipe cleaners and cutlery to experiment with creating different types of mark such as ‘thick’, ‘thin’, ‘wavy’, ‘jagged’ , shiny’ etc. The children listened to relaxing music and wrote notes in their sketchbooks to explain the types of tool used and the mark type of mark they’d tried to make. It was a very creative afternoon with lots of experimentation! Well done Woodpeckers!
