In art this term, we have looked at the work of Nick Rowland and the work of JMW Turner. We have compared their work and discussed the different techniques they have used.

Nick Rowland has created colourful volcano pictures using different art techniques such as colour washing and splattering. JMW Turner has created an eruption of Mount Vesuvius using more traditional techniques including sketching and oil painting.

We have sketched our own pictures of Mount Vesuvius, taking inspiration from JMW Turners work. We have ensured we thought about the light and dark shades in our pictures and the dark and light lines as well as thick and thin lines. We used a selection of sketching pencils to create our sketches, we then added detail and darker lines with charcoal.

We added an eruption to our sketch of Mount Vesuvius. We used Nick Rowland as our inspiration for this and used a splattering technique to show the lava erupting from the volcano.
