This week was a great lesson. It was absolutely full.... full of fun, chatting but mainly full of drawing and of painting. The children were exposed briefly to the first phase of cubism. That is the breaking up or an object into flat shapes and drawing the object from all angles on the same page. We looked at some example by George Braque - The Violin and Candlestick and Picasso.
The children do not feel brave enough to paint without drawing first and so this delightful drawing above is one done by an 8 year old boy showing the inside of a butternut.
This one is the butternut from the front veiw and I particularly love this one as he used circles , consecutively, to show the depth of it.
This is our little 4 going on 5 year old and he really worked hard this time. The idea of doing the avocado from different angles was tough and he really persevere in both painting and drawing. Well done.
The apple and the butternut. Both of these show care in observation and colour choice. Fabulous.
The children, worked on a square page dividend into 4. In each square they had to represent a different angle of the fruit or vegetable chosen
The apple and the passion fruit.
The children painted with water colour paint . It was really good to see how they began to explore with shading and mixing colours together on the paper.
