Ohayu gozaimasu!
Here are today’s suggestions:
- Go on a picture hunt around your house. Are there pictures you have drawn or painted? What about ones that someone else has created? Are any in frames? What can your parents tell you about them? Where did they get them? Were they gifted on a special occasion? Did they buy them because they remind them of a special place or time? Or do they just like the way they look? Which one do you like the best?
2. Look more closely at some of your own pictures at home or the pictures shared below. Take a really careful look and describe the pictures with as much detail as you can; think about colours, shapes, line, light/dark… Which ones do you like/dislike? Why?
3. Can you create an image inspired by one of these? You might try to recreate it or you may just use some of the same elements like the same shapes or bright colours. You can draw or paint your image but you could also make one using pieces of paper or bricks to have the straight lines and shapes that Mondrian uses, for example.
