In Art p7 have been learning about Andy Warhol and popular culture.

Having been inspired by his portraits, we drew a cartoon version of ourselves then transferred it on to a polystyrene block.

We had to cut up the block into 5 parts so we could print each bit a different colour.  Using the printing inks we printed each of the 5 pieces to create these colourful portraits.  Most of the class managed to to print 2, trying out different colour combinations.

Great work from p7 as this project was technical and quite tricky!

 

In art p7 have been looking at the artist Jacqueline Hurley.  We have tried to recreate her style using paint, charcoal, chalk and charcoal pencils.  Using these materials we have focused on creating texture for the background before drawing out a silhouette image.

The final effects are beautiful, very thought provoking.
