Guest Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Anyone have any good ideas about using an artist as a starting point then letting children have various resources to create their interpretation. Thought of Monet, Van Gogh so far.
Guest Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) i like introducing the children to Mondrian Edited March 22, 2012 by max321
Guest ChunkyMan Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I have introduced Andy Goldsworthy and then provided lots of natural atelier materials for them to create their own interpretations.
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 David Hockney - he now uses an i pad/phone to create a lot of his work and is a lot more than the swimming pools that initially springs to mind..
Guest Anje Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 We used Van Gough wheat field with crows during our topic on senses. The children recreated the pictures just using thir fingers, dabbing etc. They looked fab!
AnonyMouse_32166 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 i have done Jackson Pollock - different ways to flick/ splat paint / use a pendulum to swing bottle of paint - also my children danced about with the dance ribbons saying they where painting like Jackson Pollock! like above Mondrian - i have mine huge sheets of white paper and rollers and they made lines then filled in the gaps also outside made large Mondrian with paper sheets and garden cains Lichtenstein - good for superheros and dotty pictures also Georges-Pierre Seurat - picture made from dots Lowry - stick men Paul Klee - colored squares look at cubism - make sculptures with cardboard boxes erm.. i'll get back to you when i remember any others i have done Emma x
