Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Eric used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. Eric used shape to define the different areas of his tree study i.e. the trunk, the leaves and the background and experimented with mixing colours for his work. He then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar he was interested in trying. Eric is interested in using superheroes as the subject for his final work.
