Year 6 have been exploring the life and work of famous British artist David Hockney. They researched his life, distinctive painting style and some of his most well-known artworks, focusing on his use of bright colours, bold shapes and expressive lines.
The children created their own artist research pages, showcasing what they had discovered about Hockney and his work.
They then looked closely at Hockney’s famous landscape Garrowby Hill, exploring its colours, shapes and composition before creating their own versions. The children enjoyed experimenting with colour and putting their own creative ideas into their artwork.
They also analysed Hockney’s ‘My Parents’ portrait, looking closely at how he used light and shade, before experimenting with shading techniques in their own still-life drawings of a bottle.
We were so impressed with the creativity and individuality shown in their finished pieces!
