Today in 4C, we had a great afternoon making paints using natural ingredients like they did in the Stone Age.
We used flour, water, spices and fruit to create different coloured paints.
Once we had made our paints, we had a go at mark making using the back of the paintbrushes which felt like using sticks which is what they may have used in the Stone Age.
Finally, we drew some British animals on sand paper using charcoal. We chose animals as during prehistoric times people drew lots of animals because they were a very important aspect of their lives. The sand paper provided a rough texture like the walls of a cave they would have drawn on in prehistoric times. To complete them, we painted using the lovely colours we made earlier in the lesson.
