Year 4 have enjoyed a block of art over the last two weeks – exploring sketching and drawing with the human form, reducing it first to squares and rectangles, then adding circles to create shape and curves.
We have looked at artists like Deborah Roberts, Pablo Picasso and his partner Francoise Gilot, who all created art works involving and elements of collage, a mixture of materials and all with an abstract, and at a times, quite obscure finish to them.
We then created a range of pieces using the skills we have learned over the last few weeks, including sketching and collage work – culminating in a collage of our own faces, drawing influence from Roberts, Picasso and Gilot.
