Painting & mixed media: Light and dark

Learners who are secure will be able to:

• Share their ideas about a painting.
• Describe the difference between a tint and a shade.
• Mix tints and shades by adding black or white paint.
• Discuss their real-life experiences of how colours can appear different.
• Use tints and shades to paint an object in 3D.
• Try different arrangements of objects for a composition, explaining their decisions.
• Produce a clear sketch that reflects the arrangement of their objects.
• Create a final painting that shows an understanding of how colour can be used to show light and dark, and therefore show three dimensions.
• Paint with care and control to make a still life with recognisable objects.
