January Artist - Hundertwasser

That moment when you are happily going along and suddenly WOW, you discover an artist that blows your mind. One that has been there your whole life and only NOW you have discovered them.

Hundertwasser has done that this month.

Trees on the rooftops.

Beautiful architecture.

We explored hot and cold colours to create the first step of our own Hundertwasser art pieces.

 

Who couldn't love an artist who had amazing vision and changed his name to

Friedensreich Regentagand Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser

"Peace-Kingdom Rainy Day Darkly Multi-coloured Hundred-Water"

Just need to decide on a new name for myself - What about Indigo Igo?

What would your name be?

Famous artists inspiring children to use watercolour

 At our Saturday art club the children are hooked on watercolour painting.  This is how it started...

Once upon a time there was a beautiful book.

Any child that opened the book and looked inside fell under the spell of artist Jackie Morris, who cast her magical brush across its pages to craft The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems

The children of the art club were now forever hungry to view art from inspiring artists.

The new term began and Deep Space Sparkle came to the rescue.

The bright watercolours, bold outlines and mesmerizing eyes hypnotised the screen's viewer.  

This could be it!

A solution to the spell may be the following ingredients...

3d art + watercolour = James Rizzi

We began straight away by producing our own Rizzi portraits.

Then drew cityscapes using the image below for inspiration.

Over this term the children are creating their own 3D version of Picture This (below), 

using their own portraits and buildings.

This is definitely not, the end!
