How To:

LEVEL 4

Artist in Residence - Anna Blatman

Painting

• Artist, Anna Blatman presented the students with pictures of flowers that she collects to inspire her paintings.
• Anna demonstrated how she approaches her work then the students chose their picture and followed the model she had demonstrated.
• Students chose a background colour, preferably a colour that was light and bright and this was quickly painted on.
• The foliage was added with long quick strokes
• If the picture had a vase, this was painted before the foliage was applied
• Finally the flowers were painted

LEVEL 4

• After researching Japanese inspired patterns and looking at Japanese block prints and kimono designs, grade 5 students decorated a template of a kimono.
• Fabric was then placed over the design and taped into place.
• Gutta was applied onto the fabric following the design lines.
• Silk paints were then used to colour the design.
• Students had made a plaster face using the 9-face mould available from Zart Art.
• These were painted with an abstract design using Jo Sonya paints and a fine line brush.\
• The finished product was mounted onto black cartridge paper that had a silhouette of the kimono shape cut out.
• The fabric was taped into place and the plaster face was glued on using Supertac.
