At Merton Park After School Club this week, visiting artist Katriona Beale worked with the children to explore paint in preparation for our ‘Art Walks’ later this term.
We worked on
– an exercise mixing paints – making up new colours and new names for them.
– an exercise about tone – trying to show one colour as dark as it could be to as light as it could be.
– a study of some plants which were collected locally – trying to use what we had found out about colour and tone.
Can you spot the budding Orla Keilly?
Children really took on board the conversation about tone Look at this gorgeous purple headed flower painting. It reminds us of some of Michael Landy’s meticulous drawings of street flowers and weeds.
