For this third work the pupils include various features that can transmit different visual and tactile sensation withtextures.
UNIT 2 : Pupils make different compositions using pieces of coloured paper to transmit a different communicative purpose, They use the LAW OF PERCEPTION:
Lines can also add very expressive effects, pupils use wire in this composition to create a single composition.
UNIT 3 Pupils created their colour wheel using saturated gouache painting and wax crayons.
Pupils use primary, secondary and tertiary pure colours and gradually add white to decrease the SATURATION level of the colour and increase its VALUE, Then they add black in the inner series, to decrease its saturation level as well as its value.
