'IT IS ALL ON YOUR FACE'
Colours can evoke emotions and are very important to
creating an 'atmosphere' in an artwork.
 |
| Emotional Colour Portraits Ages 8-12years |
Believe it or not colours can evoke special feelings and emotions in
people. Just like musical notes and rhythm create a mood in a song, artists use
their mediums, often colour and lines in particular, to create an ‘atmosphere’
in an artwork.
 |
| Emotional Colour Portraits Ages 8-12years |
In this activity we explored the paintings of Fauvism looking at the use of
different colours and lines and the feelings suggested. We also looked at some
different and sometimes funny, emotional colour charts available on the Internet.

| Emotional Colour Portraits Ages 8-12years |
These amazing young artists then created our own stirring atmospheric portraits.

We came to the conclusion that often the moods suggested by colour can be personal or subjective feelings rather than one colour meaning the same thing to every person.

| Eyes 4 ways drawings by 8-12 years |
In this activity our focus was
on learning how to draw eyes firstly thinking about shape and line drawing. We
then focused on some tonal values to the best of our abilities, which incidentally
were amazing for both younger and older students. We then experimented with
what we had learnt using three other mediums. Charcoal was a favorite choice. The
young artists loved the speed, instantaneousness and intuitiveness of this
medium.
Stunning
results from everyone.

Personal Shields and Flags
project was a type of self-portrait with a difference. Our focus for this
activity was to think about and create symbols that are represent us and
are meaningful to us as a person. Our loves. What are the things that can
visually tell others about who we are in the world.
What makes us who we
are.
You do not need to be afraid when you have your own shield to protect you.

Some stunning works created this day as well as a lot of fun! Here are just a few examples but stay tuned as there will be more to come
