Primary 2 have been learning about the work of the artist LS Lowry. We listened to him talking about his paintings, looked at some of these paintings and listened to a song called ‘Matchstick Men’ written about Lowry. Here are some paintings we liked:
We observed this factory painting.
Jenna- this has a lot of grey sky and smoke.
Abigail – I don’t like this because it has smoke. It makes me feel sad because it looks dark.
This is a self portrait.
Lowry painted this portrait of himself. Oliver – he was young here. I think he looks smart.
Some people had fun at the beach.
Lowry painted this happy day. Alistair – the beach looks pretty good. Andrew – this painting has lots of colours. Corey – so this painting makes you feel happy.
We observed the buildings and people in his factory painting and made our own as you can see!
Look out everyone – lots of the children want to paint more Lowry style paintings at home too!
