Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we set our students the task of creating artwork on the subject of Rainbows! What a joyful collection we have received!
From paintings and drawings using watercolours, bright pastels, coloured pencils, acrylic paints to bold and vibrant illustrations, each piece celebrates the beauty that rainbows bring. It’s lovely to see how our students have all interpreted the theme differently.
A big thank you to everyone who took part. Your work has brightened up our week and we hope it inspires others to get involved too. Scroll down to see all the fantastic entries and don’t forget that a brand new challenge is coming tomorrow!
took a different approach to this challenge. I did 7 keys each a colour of the rainbow. I used dry watercolour pencils and stuck the keys onto black sugar paper. Nina P“Rainbow”.

I drew my rainbow with Shuttle Art gel crayons and a Posca pen on Artisto cold pressed watercolor paper. LinnI started this piece by painting a rainbow very loosely in watercolour, then splattered paint on it. It didn’t look finished so I drew the pot of gold at the end, and then thought “what would my pot of gold be?” – I wrote the things that make me happy on the rainbow itself, so here is my happiness rainbow, it certainly made me feel happy!MaryAnn HPatricia VHere’s my rainbow. It’s based on a wooden toy and done in coloured pencil, with a few imagined mice playing on it! VIcki MWhen I think of rainbows, I think of unicorns- this is a painted using watercolour splatters in rainbow colours. The unicorn is drawn on top using pencil, watercolour pencils and watercolour paint. I wanted it to look as though the unicorn is emerging from the rainbow. Catherine TBelow is a watercolour painting of a rainbow, which I then added paint splatters of rainbow colours and tipped the paper to merge them even more, I like the effect that I’ve achieved, it almost looks like a seabed!?
