Admin EditDesign your own currency
On Monday we are going to have a day of art designing our own currencies. We are going to create imaginative bank notes using watercolour paints, watercolour pencils and ballpoint pens.
Have you decided on your final design?
How will it represent your country?
How will you keep the design simple and effective?
Have a look at some of these beautiful bank notes from around the world to give you some inspiration:
STEP 2: Sketch your final design on to the watercolour paper. Remember to keep it simple!
STEP 3: Use a watercolour wash to paint the background and fill in blocks of color.
STEP 4: Use watercolour pencils to fill in detail and for small sections.
STEP 5: Use a fine brush dipped in water to blend some of the pencil lines.
STEP 6: Outline numbers and fine details with coloured ball-point pen to make them stand out.
Enjoy creating your own beautiful bank notes of the world!

-
When did you first use a credit card?
-

Wow!
Some people have already started to bring in completed tasks for the 'Business Matters' project.

Anne-Sophie has already completed the compulsory Word Smart task: to create an information text about trade in your home country. Anne-Sophie's text is about ... chocolate! Mmmm ... wouldn't you like to visit Belgium? Do you know what other countries produce and export chocolate?
Well done!
