The students loved learning about the unconventional techniques Pro Hart used to create his paintings, especially dropping paint onto a large canvas from a hot air balloon!! No, sorry kids, not really able to do that in our Art lessons, but we did have fun using a variety of different tools and techniques to create our own textured backgrounds.
We were inspired by his dragonfly paintings and once our backgrounds were dry, we painted our dragonflies in the foreground and added some highlights and contrast with chalk pastels.
What masterpieces! Well done Grade 2 and 3 students, they look amazing (and yes, what a mess we made!!)
