3.Art

Remember when we were studying tone? Tone is the word used to discuss how dark or light a colour is. Today let’s think about tonal contrast (dark next to light.) We have already looked at a painting by Edward Hopper that demonstrates this. Here is another painting that shows tonal contrast https://www.wikiart.org/en/paul-klee/the-goldfish-1925 . It is called ‘The Goldfish’ by Paul Klee which he painted in 1925.

What do you think of the painting? How does it make you feel?

Before you go-Something to think about -you might be interested in this brilliant National Geographic website which has a selection of 360-degree videos on its YouTube channel : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLivjPDlt6ApRq22sn082ZCC9893XtV8xc including a tiger shark encounter, and this hammerhead shark encounter. Flipping to a more tranquil deep dive, how about swimming with dolphins instead. Each experience lasts a few minutes.
