Surrealism!
During Term 3 while Year 7 students learnt remotely, they have explored the Surrealism movement from the 1920s. Inspired by the Surrealist artists Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Andre Breton, Paul Klee, and many more who expressed creative potential of the subconscious mind. Year 7 have investigated artworks which unlock the subconscious mind by representing landscape, images of natural scenery in a fantasy or dreamlike quality while incorporating subjects in unfamiliar places, sometimes featuring impossible creatures and impossible scenery.

In ‘Surrealist Animals’ the techniques of distortion in scale and repetition of pattern disrupt the normal expectations of representational animals. Some very extraordinary animal images!

Colourfield Artworks
Colourfield Artworks
In the 1940s a group of artists wanted their artworks to look completely non representational or 'abstract'. They were called the 'Colourfield' artists because they painted in large fields of colour that would 'envelop' the view when they stood in front of their expansive canvases. The Colourfield artists rejected all forms of illusionism (especially perspective and tone) and any hint of subject matter. In term one, Year 7 Visual Arts students have been exploring the 6 elements of art (line, shape, tone, colour, texture and space). They have employed line, shape and colour, tone and texture to create their own Colourfield artwork
