Prep & Year 1: Pastel Painted Pasta Pattern Picture

First we discussed patterns and read about City Patterns. Students had fun gluing their pasta patterns onto a cardboard square, and then painted these with acrylic paint in a pastel colour. We discussed the art element, VALUE, which refers to the lightness or darkness of a colour. The base paint they used had white added to it. We also had fun trying to say the tongue-twister: pastel painted pasta pattern picture!
