Painting a Bluebell Forest in Cyan, Magenta and Process Yellow on a Large Scale

By Sheila Ceccarelli

In this project young teenagers were given the opportunity to paint on a larger scale and immerse themselves in colour. We were all inspired by the spring!

Students transformed the room into a bluebell forest in cyan, magenta and process yellow Scolaquip acrylic paint.

Exploring Primary Colours and Progressing from Powder Paint to Gouache and Acrylic

Mastering colour mixing

This resource is based on methods shared during an AccessArt InSET session for primary school teachers at New Hall School, Chelmsford, to ultimately enable their pupils to develop colour skills. Teachers explored using their intuition and experience to mix primary colours, creating coloured swatches that matched the colours of spring flowers, whilst comparing painting mediums.

Review: ScolaQuip Canvas Effect Frames

Every now and again we come across a product which we’ve not seen before but which makes perfect sense, and when we first saw these amazing foldable art canvases from Scolaquip we knew a lot of people would love them!

The market is flooded with canvases at accessible prices, which is great, and children and teenagers really enjoy using them. The problem especially for schools, is that they are bulky and take up precious storage space. So whoever thought of creating a canvas which is flat but which folds to a durable frame is a genius!

UK manufacturer Scolaquip is the only supplier of these nifty canvases. They come in two sizes: A4 and A5, and packs of 30.

AccessArt has trialled the canvases with different age groups and they have been a real hit with everyone who sees them. They have lots of great features, including:

Foldable Art Canvas

Great for drawing on

They are so solid. Even when unfolded, they can be used to draw or paint upon without the need for any kind of drawing board behind, even when drawing at an angle. When folded they feel substantial and strong.

Art canvas with textured surface

They have a lovely textured surface

Canvases which don't buckle

They don’t buckle even with wet paint.

Flat canvas before folding

Easy to store due to their flatness. Light weight.

Folding the Scola Canvas Effect Frame

Easy to fold – there’s even a video to help you along.

Be creative with Scolaquip foldable canvases

They bring with them lots of creative potential. You can paint on them before or after you fold them. Use the “canvas” side, or reverse it and use the interior as a frame. Make 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional work.You can also of course paint the edges of the canvas.
