Primary and Secondary Paintings!
The Year 1’s have had a lot
of messy fun in the art room. They
have been exploring the colour theory. They
mixed combinations of the Primary
colours (blue, red & yellow) to create the Secondary colours (orange, purple & green). They then painted
their own beautiful painting using all
of the colours.
Warm and Cool Portraits!
The Year 2’s have been
having a great time creating these interesting self-portraits. Half of their face is coloured in warm colours and the other half in cool colours. They have used water-colour paints to practise their
painting technique; focusing on choice of paint brush, control and smooth
strokes.
The Year 3’s have created
these fantastic self-portraits using Vincent
Van Gogh, Self-portrait as their
inspiration. They layered multiple
colours over their photograph using oil
pastels. They then scratched into the layers with a pop-stick to create the
wavy lines they could see in Van
Gogh’s portrait.
Warhol’s Pop Art Portraits!
These fabulous Year 4 and 5
self-portraits were inspired by Andy
Warhol and his Marilyn Monroe piece. They have been learning about the complementary colours and Pop Art. When used together
complementary colours can be very striking and make your art work, ‘POP’!
Three of the self-portraits
were coloured in each of the complementary
pairs and the fourth was their own choice. Each has been coloured using water-coloured pencils which turn into
paint when water is added to them.
Roy Lichtenstein Portraits!
Year 5
and 6’s classes enjoyed creating these brilliant Pop Art self-portraits. They used art works by Roy Lichtenstein who
found his inspiration from 1950 cartoon strips. They carefully selected and traced particular lines within their face to create a self-portrait in this comic style. They
then added colour by using a wax crayon
rubbing of bubble wrap to create the Ben Day dots typical of Lichtenstein’s
art works. They used body language, expressions and a final word to portray a little something about
themselves within their fantastic piece.
Lunchtime Art!
Wishing a Happy, Safe and Creative Holiday to Everyone!!
