To create our own willow pattern plates, students sketched their designs in their art journals and then onto white paper plates. We used tints and shades of blue acrylic to then paint our monochromatic designs. Great work Grades 5 and 6!

Grade 5/6 ~ Chinese Willow Pattern Plates
The Grade 5/6 Asia focus this year is China and we shared the story of the Willow Pattern together in Art. So many students recognised this distinct blue and white plate! After we shared the story, many students went home and checked theirs a bit more closely to see if it actually was the willow pattern. After reading the story, they knew the exact details to look for (the doves, apple trees, pagoda, boat, bridge etc)..
