Last week before our art lesson we learned about the RMS Titanic. For her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world. On the night of 14 April 1912, during her maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the most deadly sinking ship disasters in history.
We studied the form and shape of the Titanic ship and focused on the various types of lines. We then drew the ship and coloured it in using oil pastels.
We payed great attention to the sea and sky also. We focused on the different shades of colour and how they may have looked that night i.e. the icey cold water and the sun setting in the background.
