Visual Art Work
How To:
- Year One and two students were inspired to create these pictures by the work of Russian artist Kandinsky who loved to use circles and colour.
- They mixed their own paint using primary colours and white, and then worked bright coloured pastel into the picture to create contrast with the black background.
- In response to Kandinsky’s “Study with colour-squares with concentric circles” 1913, students also worked with a variety of media to explore this theme.
Rainforest
How To:
Year Three and Four have been studying the rainforest as an endangered environment, exploring this theme visually in art sessions.
Inspired by the work of illustrator Jeannie Baker, they designed rainforest environments to be created in relief as a three dimensional work.
These were painted with an emphasis on the
- direction of light
- and the use of contrast.
- The students mixed their own greens and browns from primary colours. Using a light skin colour to vary tone.
