3rd Yr - David Hockney

3^rd Year students have had a busy month, preparing and recapping on the key elements involved in the first part of their Junior Cert Art, Craft and Design Project, which will be issued to them on 1^st October.

 

Support Studies are a fundamental part of their projects, so as a group we described and discussed artworks by British Pop Artist, David Hockney. Students practiced life drawing skills using a variery of media, focusing on a self portait of the artist. Students also developed their colour theory and painting skills, by recreating a selection of his oil paintings, whilst researching information about the artist’s life and work. Their completed paintings turned out fantastic and have created a very impressive and vibrant ‘Artist of Month’ wall.
