Pointillist artwork
Year 3 continued with their pointillist pieces of artwork. Some very careful painting. Well done year 3.
Creating a pointillist piece of art
Year 3 chose an inspirational picture to help them draw the outline for their pointillist piece of art, which they will then paint using everything they have learnt over the last few weeks.
Pointillist techniques using paintbrushes and cotton buds
Year 3 completed their pointillist images using a combination of cotton buds and both ends of their paintbrushes. Some amazing artwork. Well done Year 3, you took such care with your art.
Practising Pointillist techniques using a cotton bud and paintbrush
Year 3 had a great deal of fun creating a pointillist painting using cotton buds, the tip of a paintbrush and the other end of the paintbrush. Their painting, which is still a work in progress will show all three different types of dots created by the different items. Their paintings are looking good.
Felix Feneon pointillist portrait
Year 3 completed their backgrounds fro the Felix Feneon portraits. They then cut out the black and white copies of Felix Feneon, and applied some colour using pointillist techniques. They completed their art by gluing in his image. They look so effective. Well done year 3, you’ve taken such care with this work.
Portrait of Felix Feneon
Year 3 continued with their pointillist work creating a background and adding their black and white image of Felix Feneon to which they then added some pointillist dots.
Arts day – Kobra art
The children looked at Kobra’s artwork, noting the colourful geometric squares and diamond shapes. The then completed their work from the artist in residence workshop, bu adding colour and a little more vinyl to their poses. They look fab.
Exploring other pointillist artists
The children looked at the work of a variety of other pointillist artists, expressing their opinions of their work as they went along. They then looked at a piece of art with the title of: Portrait of Felix Fenenon, by Paul Signac. Felix Feeneon was an art critic who didn’t think that Pointillism was an art form. The children then used this painting as inspiration to create a background using the familiar pointillist dots. They then posed with in a top hat and jacket. The image will be cut out next week and positioned onto their completed pointillist artwork.
Using shading effects with Pointillism
Year 3 looked very carefully at how Seurat uses dots to create shading in his art. They discovered that he used darker colours with dots really close together to create shadow in his paintings and that lighter colours with dots further away from each other created the illusion of light. They then practised using Seurat’s technique of shading.
