2. ⚫You might link this project to so many other areas of
study about natural form, 3D work, collage, ceramics
etc
⚫There are obvious artist links with Rousseau.
⚫My primary learning objective here is to teach colour
mixing skills, tone, hue and the value of colour as well
as observational drawing.
Introduction
