Mosaics

 I like to start the year in a fairly relaxed way, so this time we explored colour and mosaics.  First we painted a sheet of colour- starting with the primary colours and building up with new colours each week, until we had a full range of colour for our pictures.


Irving was very focused on creating this first piece with a lighthouse.

I wasn't quite sure where I was going with my first mosaic, but it reminded me of reading about Matisse's paper cut outs.

Week 3's colours before cutting/tearing for our mosaics.  Irving had a tendency to always leave a lot of white in his colour painting.

 

Moving into our full colour paintings.

Irving liked to keep it simple.
