For this art project Year 5 looked at the art of Bernadette Twomey based in Brisbane, Australia. Her artworks feature bold colours and abstract botanical shapes in different colour palettes. Students could choose their own colour scheme from cool to warm to earthy to a combination.
They viewed a selection of Bernadette Twomey’s artwork to identify varied colour combinations and shapes used. We discussed the elements of art used and then students used a word list to describe each one and draw the botanical shapes they noticed in B.Twomey’s work.
They began by painting a background in chosen colours and the next lesson they drew botanical shapes and painted them in.
The final lesson was to add dots lines and outlining to their shapes as well as the negative space.
