Today, Year 5 had an exciting Art Day that was both educational and fun! The day began with a focus on observational drawing, where students were tasked with drawing a house. Using their keen eyes and attention to detail, they captured the essence of the structures in front of them, honing their skills in proportion, perspective, and shading.
After the observational drawing session, the students delved into the world of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian artist and architect known for his vibrant and organic designs. Hundertwasser’s work is characterized by its bright colors, irregular forms, and a strong emphasis on individuality and nature. His buildings often feature undulating floors, tree tenants, and a rejection of straight lines, making each creation a unique piece of art.
The students were inspired by Hundertwasser’s philosophy that architecture should be a reflection of human creativity and individuality. They discussed how his buildings stand out in a world of uniformity, showcasing the beauty of diversity and personal expression.
By the end of the day, Year 5 had not only improved their drawing skills but also gained a deeper appreciation for artistic individuality and the importance of creativity in everyday life. It was a day filled with learning, inspiration, and a lot of colorful art!
