Inspired by the amazing colours you can see in the sky during a sunset, Y4H have created these pieces of mining artwork.
Can you describe the processes and steps you took in creating your art work?
Was there any challenges you had to overcome? And what skills were required?

First we had to fill the background with hundreds of different shapes and coloured tissue paper.
Then we had to get some black card and draw sketches of the colliery and buildings.
After that we cut them out and carefully stuck all of them down.
For art Mr Hastey planned for us to do a colliery with the sunset. It took patience and accuracy whilst we were sticking hundreds of pieces on our art then to make the colliery part. It was black due to it wasn’t the morning.
Look below and see my amazing art! We had to not make any mistakes.

We had to stick millions of diffirent coloured pieces of card and tissue paper(trying not to stick the same coloured pieces of paper next to each other.)It took a long time but in the end it was worth it.
It took a lot of patience and effort and one of the challenges was making sure none of the colours were touching so that it looked better. Some of the skills were gluing sticking and cutting.
It took me so long to do mine Mr Hastey and at first mine look like a dinosaur in a picture frame but now it looks amazing. The wheel was super hard to do as well.
First we had to rip up the paper into little pieces and then we stuck them down with a glue stick but we had to make sure the pieces weren’t touching. Next we filled in all of the white gaps. Then we drew our colliery onto the black card. Finally we cut out our pictures and stuck them on to the sunset background.
There was one challenge I had to over come. It was making shaw that the pieces were not too big.
The skill I used was my ripping skills I ripped some small bits and some big bits they were different shapes and sizes.

First you need to find some bright colours don’t use any blue use sun set colers next you fill all the pieces of paper after you get some black card and try to draw the colllarie next you stick it

1) The first thing we had to do was get a piece of A3 paper and stick a range of coloured materials on the paper but none of the same colours touching.
2) Then we had to fill in all the white gapes.
3) Finally we cut out silhouettes of buildings out of black card and stick it on our A3 sheet.
One of the skills you had to have was patients because it took a long time to do the background.
Step 1.First we had to get our piece of A3 paper, and our glue sticks. We didn’t use scissors so the shapes would have variety of shape and size.
Step 2. secondly we chose where to start and we ripped a piece of coloured paper or tissue paper and stuck it where we wanted to start.
Step 3.As time passed on we finished and started to draw and stick on our silhouettes of the mining collieries.
(we made shore none of the same colours were touching)
Step 4. We have finished!
well first of you needed some paper, glue stick and some tissue paper and then you had to rip of some little pieces of it(AND MAKE SURE THE EDGES ARE NOT STREIGHT).You had to be very paichent.
First you need some coloured tissue paper( make sure the coloured paper is not touching the same colour) and also make sure there is no white pits showing.
The first thing we had to do was get a piece of paper (A3)
Next we had to get a variety of coloured paper and stick them down without the same colours touching.
At the end of the lesson we put them in a pile and left them over night.
After that we got some black card and drew some pictures of silhouettes.
Next we cut the silhouettes out.
Finally we stuck the silhouettes down onto the coloured paper.
The colours have to be peach, pink and orange
I enjoyed the art work because it was very fun & I didn’t expect it to turn out great!
I like it the best when we got to draw the pictures for the art work it was great we all enjoyed it!!!
First we had to make our background by getting hundreds of little pieces of card and tissue paper and stick them on to a A4 piece of paper(the same colour pieces can’t touch. Then we have to make our silo wet using black card.
This is mine finished. It takes real pations to do it.
The first step we had to take was to cover our piece of paper in lots of bits of coloured paper to look like a sunset after that we had to keep making sure all the edges were stuck down. After that we had to draw building that you would find on a colliery and then cut them out and stick them on they had to be black so they looked like shadows.
If you want to try this you need to be very patient. What to do
What you need Step 1: Fill the paper with ripped up
bits of coloured paper.
*Any size peace of paper
*Lots of different coloured paper/tissue paper Step 2: Draw houses on a peace of
*glue black card cut them out and stick
*scissors them on.
*black card
1. First we had to stick hundreds of coloured pieces on to a big piece of paper.They had to be al, different shapes and sizes.
2. next we had to wait for it to dry
3. when it had dried we had a black piece of paper and we had to draw some mining colliery .
4. We had to cut all of them out.
5. Finally we had to stick all of things onto our background and then we were done.

I enjoyed creating the colliery it took a long time to make the pice of art but I think we all enjoyed art.
(I GOT A BIT STICKY!)
We really like your sunset at the colliery pictures. They must have taken along time to design.
When are you going to be making your helmets because we are excited to see what they look like!

First we had to create the sunset background. This involved sticking hundreds of different sized and shaped pieces of paper (without the same colours touching) down with a glue stick.
Below is what my background looks like without the buildings. It took a lot of patience, to finish neatly.
