LEARNING AT LILYDALE

Year 7 ART

The artworks pictured below are based on the style of Freidensreich Hundertwasser, who was often said to be opposed to a 'straight line'. 

 

From learning about Hundertwasser, students in 7I (Ms Rubio's class) have designed their own artworks. The visual impact of these artworks is amazing!  

 

The dynamic colour combinations were tested then rendered carefully by the students to achieve the most effective result.  The beautiful, coloured pens enhanced their enjoyment of the topic.  Throughout the project the students gradually developed their small motor skills and control over the medium.
