In art p1/2 have been looking at artwork created by the artist Jim Dine.

We were inspired by his paintings of Love Hearts, discussing his use of colour, shapes and texture.  We tried to recreate a similar effect with paint when creating our own hearts.

Using hot colours for the heart and cold colours for the background we explored printing by painting on one half of the paper and folding it over to take a print.  Once we finished them and they’d had a chance to dry we used chalk to create an outline and add highlights.

Well done, the final pictures are beautiful!
