Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Tammy used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. Tammy used colour and shape to define the different areas of her tree study i.e. the trunk, the leaves and the background. In her painting she experimented with different shades of one colour to define these areas. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Tammy experimented with a range of subjects for her final work using ideas from her artistic exemplar.
