For our homework this term one of our tasks is to produce a piece of art inspired by Aboriginal Dot Painting. Mrs Edwards was blown away by our creations. Some are very close to the Aboriginal style whereas others are very much taking it as inspiration and then producing work in their own style.
We have been learning about the work of Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai is perhaps most well-known for this woodblock prints of Mount Fuji (The Great Wave being the most famous). We studied his style by sketching out one of his works of Mount Fuji. We then explored different media to see which will work best to give us the block colour effect that he used in his work.
