Describing the picture:
This painting, done by Sally Harrison, is called "Laura and Me."
When I see this picture, I see two children who are sitting on a rock and a old-fashioned car behind them. One of the children (Sally) is dark skinned and the other (Laura) is light skinned, I believe that this is means that when she was taken away she was treated like they where her sisters. The children also look sad even though they are in a beautiful place.
The elimates that Sally used was probably line (for the big bits of grass), dotting (for the grass on the floor), and shape (for the shape of the girls).

My class and I first learnt about shades, colours and mixing shades together to made beautiful texture. Then we decided to try that in a detailed drawing of a fruit or vegetable. After we drew our fruit, we got taught about painting and we painted over our drawing with different colours, and experimenting with our oun colours by mixing different colours together. To finish of our piece of work, we then added little paint dots of black, white and skin colour. We learnt how to do patterns with the dots and where the dots could go to accentuate that particular area and what colour of dots to put in sertain areas to make the painting look less plain.
