Today we began our art case study 🙂 First we were introduced to our new artist Andy Warhol. First we looked at a variety of images giving notices on what we could see and the medium being used. From here we were introduced to the pieces of art work we would be creating for our final product, we were all super excited! We then built background knowledge on Andy Warhol, watching a variety of clips. We noted facts on our white boards then build anchor charts in mini crews. From here we explored a range of Andy’s art work, giving praises, notices and wonders. We loved seeing the colours that Andy used in his art work, we loved the colours that complimented each other but also how they gave a strong contract.
Our second art lesson allowed us to practise using water colours where we refined the skills we already had. We experimented with building up water colours then applying to a volcano picture that we sketched. We will then compare and contrast this with acrylic paint, this is the other medium we will use through our art case study. We are all excited for more art lessons this week 🙂
