Year 2 Abstract Cubism Bird

The Cubism Bird process: After a discussion about abstract/cubism painting, Year 2 students drew a cubism bird or animal with oil pastel and then painted it using the double-loading technique with white and either two warm or two cool colours, blending to see how many tints they could make on their bird. In week 2 they drew white pastel lines on a background paper and painted a warm or cool colour wash on top. The following week students cut out their bird and glued it onto their background, also adding straight lines on the bird's body. Now on show in the Main Building corridor.
