09 Feb What’s happening in Year 5 – Week 5
This week we have been creating observational still-life drawings inspired by Vincent van Gogh. Our drawing skills have progressed, as we practised using single and cross hatching to produce shadow and depth and created a variety of different textures (such as hairy, smooth, rocky) using only our pencil. Inspired by the bright colours Vincent van Gogh used in his post-impressionist artworks, we used chalk and oil pastels to draw our fruits. Some of us added thick streaks of colour to the background, in the style of his Apples (1887).
