A free artwork assignment is for all children of primary school age
This year's task “The Wonderful Watercolour " is launched during Art Friday 3.9.2021 here on Konstrundan's website.
In the film, watercolour artist Anette Gustafsson introduces her self and her art, and then presents the assignment to the children in a step-by-step manner. This is how Anette describes this year's task:
“Together, we will experiment and investigate watercolour painting in a simple and fun way using lots of water, pigments and some slightly unexpected tools. Without actually painting with the colour, we see how water and chance will lead the colour pigments into unexpected and unique shapes. Nothing is right or wrong, all paintings will be different and maybe we can find some figures in the pattern when it has dried? ”
The assignment can be done at school or at home, teachers and parents may need to help with preparations and with gathering materials.
Instructions:
If the weather is good, you can work outdoors. If inside, please cover the table with a plastic cloth. Take a tray or a flat disk upon which your painting can dry. Wear clothes that can get dirty.
