Colour Investigation into snow

We have been constantly reflecting this winter about the weather and how it feels like winter because it isn't SOOOOO COLD but it sure doesn’t look like winter

because there isn’t any snow.

Many sigh as they still have to dress in full snowsuits,

and some share stories of what they remember it is like to play outside on a snowy day.

On this particular day we know it feels VERY cold outside (-9) but....

What do you see as you look out the window?

As the snow on this January day continues to evade us, our colour investigation team keeps an eye on the sky, hoping for even a glimpse of a snowflake.

C - The sky looks like the one in the book.

 

  

   

MJ - Tell me about what you see.
R - I’m just mixing them all together with the blue and
white and purple.
C - MJ if we had a little green I could have did green
there and put it there, then it would look like that was
the grass.
MJ - Because of the way our snow is this winter, green
would make sense wouldn’t it?
B - I think it’s snow rainbow. Like a snow rainbow.
It’s cool (as he blends his colours together).

The following day students were encouraged to re-visit their sky painting, taking time to consider details that might now be added. Here are the results of their
thinking!

 

  


Maybe the snow will come back soon. Until it does our colour team will continue to watch the skies, always on the look out for snow clouds and lovely snowflakes to spark inspiration!
