Years 5 & 6 Metallic Shape Collage inspired by Gustav Klimt

Students learned about Austrian painter Gustav Klimt who lived from 1862-1918. Klimt loved to create visual texture with patterns and lines, and also went through a golden phase using a lot of gold leaf in his paintings. Students used metallic paints and texture tools to paint a sheet which they then cut up into shapes and displayed as a collage on a black, lined background.
