Art to Start

This week, year 4 did their Art to Start. We created insect water colours inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe. Georgia O’Keeffe is recognised as being a pioneer of American modernism. She was highly praised for her art, which was unusual for a woman in a male dominated art world. For creative inspiration, we used O'Keeffe's quote: "I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at – not copy it."

Using insects in resin, we sketched our design. We then added detail using water colours and made a very bright background.
