| 'Kiwi' by Louise M |
Franz Marc is probably my favourite artist, and I was absolutely thrilled to see examples of his work 'in the flesh' when we were in Madrid (as part of the temporary Gauguin exhibit at the Thyssen).
This week our creations are in the style of Franz Marc, featuring our favourite animals in a natural setting, and using colour to express emotion. We've chosen to use soft pastel, for it's bright rich colour, and because we love getting our hands dirty!
After looking at various examples we drew our animals with black marker, then added colour with soft pastel. Although it doesn't show up well in these photos, we used at least two colours in each area, referring to our colour wheel to decide which colours would blend well together.
We ended up with a great variety of animals - from dinosaurs to horses, giraffes and dolphins!
