This week, Mr Dunn’s class completed their self-portraits inspired by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. After finishing their portraits, the students chose their favourite artwork by either Van Gogh or Gauguin and created their own drawing based on that piece. In this project, they went a step beyond using oil pastels and experimented with acrylic paint, experiencing new painting techniques and colour-blending methods on paper.
This activity was a wonderful opportunity for the students to develop their research skills, deepen their understanding of Post-Impressionist art, and gain confidence in expressing themselves using acrylics.
