For this part of The Tree Project we looked at the work of the English painter David Hockney.
We discussed the use of color, scale, and texture in his work.

The student painted the brunches we collected from our nature trail, and glued them on the paper.
She used pastels and water colors to complete the composition.
It took a lot of patience to attach the paper leaves on the brunches.

ReplyDeleteHockney did not know, a very particular perspective and color, as well as the technique, but a pleasant and unique effect.
Congratulations, also work very interesting. Best regards, Barbara
I had no idea David Hockney painted trees- I'm only familiar with his photo montages. I love the variety of these mixed media works, especially the painted branches.
ReplyDeleteit's always nice to see children's art... they're precious.
