Landscape workshop - Primary 7A

Esther from Pitclay gallery came to our class yesterday to give us a workshop on Landscapes.

We began by thinking about how artists make decisions about shapes, position and tone to create landscapes. We used cut paper and blue tacked different pieces of coloured paper onto our foundation to create a collage landscape. Blue tack allowed us to change our mind about our decisions.

Esther told us how darker tones at the front of the picture can create depth.

We then took a picture of the collage and put it into the app, Brushes and then through layering created the basic shapes of our landscape. Then after looking at landscapes by the artist, David Hockney we began to add variety using lines and different Brushes strokes.

When they are finished we will add a slide show. For now here is an example from Mieke.
