Reflection of the lesson

We used several words that we had chosen from a paragraph written in our books. We then wrote these words in ways we felt described them, yet without illustrating them. To create these words we used different media and applied them to the paper with different techniques. For example I used three different coloured pencil crayons for one word, although, to add effect I used all three pencils at once instead of separately.

Not only did I use lots of different techniques, I also used different media such as chalk, pen, pencil crayon, highlighter and pencil. After we had completed this, we went into a different room and used a whole different range of media. We used paint, but only very thin paint because we wanted to create a translucent effect over the words we had written.

To add texture I drizzled the paint over my words instead of just applying it with a paintbrush. As well as this I also used my finger to smudge the paint which gave it the translucent effect we were hoping for. After this we went back to dry materials and used them on our projects whilst the paint was still wet.
