The Yr 3 students learnt about the art movement ‘Cubism’ focusing on the artworks of Pablo Picasso and the contemporary Canadian ‘Abstract’ artist Sandra Silberzweig.
After discussing how the movement of Cubism came to be (using angled lines and directionality of facial features) and the abstract nature of the colours, lines and patterns in Sandra’s artworks, the students created their own portraits.
They used oil pastels to add the details and patterns then added watercolour washes over the top. WOW!!!!
We also discussed how artists are inspired by other famous artist when creating their own style of art.
