Plaster Hands Workshop

Wow, what a fun filled week Room 8 is having. Today we had Bianca from the Christchurch Art Gallery in our room. She brought along some plaster hands that she had made using a rubber glove. It was Room 8's job to decorate them with a unique pattern. 

First Bianca showed us lots of different art works. All of these are in the Christchurch Art Gallery. They had different types of patterns on them. Then we learnt about the colour wheel.

 

Our next step was to design our pattern.

 

After Bianca taught us how to mix colours we began painting our plaster hand. Here we are in action...

We really enjoyed the workshop. We all learnt something new about art. Here are the finished products.
