Students explored the physical properties of oil pastels to create these sea creature studies. An emphasis was placed on experimenting and refining the use of line, movement and colour.
Prior to creating the oil pastel drawings students experimented with methods of creating painted surface grounds in order to create a sense of movement and atmosphere in their pieces.

Experimental Watercolour Painting Workshop
Students took part in watercolour technique workshops to experiment with creating a range of painting effects. Students took creative risks with a range of tools and techniques in order to re-create a variety of water effects. Students used their ideas to plan suitable background effects for their final compositions.
Evaluating artwork and justifying creative decisions
After experimenting with a range of painting effects students had to evaluate their ideas and justify their creative decisions.
