Visual Art

Our first day in the Art Room was great! The students created mixed media compositions using 4 historically important artworks by: Henri Rousseau, Hilma AF Klint, Jeffrey Smart and Helen Frankenthaler. First, we discussed the paintings : form, colour, style and meaning - then students cut up photocopies of the images to make their own pieces. Gradually, different materials were introduced : coloured pencil, pastel and watercolour paint. Students created both abstract and realistic works - some combined the two! Great work from the whole school.
