This week, the children in Year 5 have been completing artwork based on a piece by John Dyer.
Over the past two weeks, Year 5 have been learning about John Dyer, who is a contemporary artist. The children started their unit of work by looking at some of his artwork and deciding on a favourite piece. We also learnt about his passion for conservation, which is the inspiration for his art.
As John Dyer’s artwork pieces are filled with different vibrant colours, the children explored shade, tint and practised making secondary and tertiary colours which they could then use in their final pieces.
This week, the children completed their sketches and then began painting on Tuesday. The children used their prior knowledge of the colour wheel to mix primary colours, black and white to make their desired colours.
