This project provides a link with both drawing and collage and uses a broad base for skills and artistic terminologies. These include:
- The study and development of Pattern work
- The understanding of Warm and Cool colours
- Fine motor skills in manipulating the materials
- The use of contrast in an artwork using both colour and a change of medium.
How to make them:
- Use two sheets of A4 paper
- On one sheet create a pattern using oil pastels and on another use paints. Decide on which artwork will be in Cool colours and which will be in Warm colours
- Choosing one of the completed sheets outline your hands and cut out
- Position these onto the contrasting sheet and fix at varying points to create depth as shown
- This project can be transferred other work such as:
- Autumn Leaves on a Sky background - as example
- Warm coloured patterned Fish on a Sea background
- Butterflies or Flowers on a Sky background
