Art Work – Grey Colour (City under the Grey Sky)

We sat around today and I asked the children what would it be under the grey sky?

Children: House…..tree…..grass…

I had prepared a picture of buildings in the city. I showed it to the children. Some immediately said it’s a city. Then I distributed each a piece of the picture of buildings in the city with a bigger piece of paper. The children needed to paste the picture of the buildings in the city onto the bigger piece of paper. As shown as below:

After that, the children coloured their city in all sorts of colour that they like. Once they were done, one by one they came to me to paint their grey sky. I mixed some white and black paint together and got the grey colour.

Each of the children has to close their hand to make a fist. Then, I coloured the bottom of their fist with the grey colour. They used that to rub against the paper to create a grey sky above those buildings in the city.

These are some of the pictures done by the children:
