Modigliani Portraits - 3/4

Here are the completed Modigliani Portraits done by my 3/4 students. I am so very proud of their effort. Each year my students' talents absolutely astounds me. This week we have been reflecting and respond on our art work. Most students were able to articulate how they achieved a Modigliani portrait. Outstanding Art 3/4s!

James Rizzi Portraits - Year 5

What a fun project this has been! The students absolutely loved James Rizzi's style. With our focus being on portraits this term, I chose Rizzi for his fun and colourful style. Take a look at the results...

Circular Painting - Small collaborative project

I'm always trying to improve the look of the art room and knew that most of my students were almost at the end of their art tasks, so I thought of starting a circular painting as a fun mural for the art room. This actually proved to be a great incentive for students to complete their set tasks. Take a look as it develops...

Prep - Self Portraits

The Preps have been busy painting their self-portraits. We have been focusing on trying to make our portraits look realistic. We used skin colour paint for our faces. For this project, the students didn't mix colours.

Although some students said: "But Mrs P, my skin is brown!" So we mixed appropriate colours.

What a great effort by all. Well done Preps!

Modigliani Portraits - 3/4

My 3/4 students are travelling well in the development of their Modgliani portraits. They are looking amazing and I am so very proud of their achievements. Can't wait to display them!

Modigliani Portraits - Year 3 and 4

We use our Visual Diaries to plan our art works and to record facts about what we are learning at hand. Our learning intention was to learn how to draw a Modigliani inspired portrait. Before the students began drawing, we discussed Modigliani's style. They noticed that the portraits had tilted heads, eyes with no pupils, long noses, long necks, small mouths and slender shoulders. I guided students on how to draw a Modigliani portrait. Most results were wonderful considering this was their first attempt. I can't wait till next week when we will decide what medium to use.
