Year 4 have been looking at two artists in this block of work. Hundertwasser was an Austrian painter and architect who enjoyed environmental campaigning. Karla Gerard is an American folk artist producing paintings and textile pieces.

The children built up their skills in drawing with a variety of media and then used watercolours to produce their own picture in the style of one of the artists.

In each lesson they used correct vocabulary and discussed the elements of art such as colour, pattern, shape and tone. If they didn’t have the correct colour available they used their knowledge of mixing primary and secondary colours to create new ones.
