🎨 Week 6: The Baroque Period! 🎨

This week, our little artists stepped into the fascinating world of the Baroque period, exploring how artists used light, shadow, contrast and detail to bring their paintings to life. ✨🖌️

Our younger artists discovered Rembrandt and looked at his beautiful artworks featuring windmills. Inspired by his dramatic use of light and dark, they created their very own windmill paintings on black paper, using white chalk to explore contrast, light and shade. 🌬️🖤

The 9–11 year old group studied Caravaggio and his famous Basket of Fruit still life. 🍎🍇 They each chose a section of the artwork to study closely and recreated it on their own square canvas, focusing on detail, colour and composition.

Our oldest artists discovered Johannes Vermeer and his iconic Girl with a Pearl Earring.
They then created their own versions, exploring Vermeer’s beautiful use of light, colour and expression.

Another wonderful week of creativity, discovery and lots of artistic fun! 🎨💫

This week, our young artists travelled back in time to explore the fascinating world of Renaissance Art! 🎨

🖼️ Our younger groups learned about the great artist Leonardo da Vinci, focusing on one of the world's most famous paintings, the Mona Lisa. Inspired by this iconic masterpiece, they created their own unique interpretations using line art.

🏛️ Our older groups explored the beauty and architectural brilliance of the dome of St Peter’s Basilica, designed by the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo. They created their own precise pencil drawings of the dome, carefully observing its structure and details, before bringing their artwork to life with watercolour.

I am incredibly proud of everything our young artists achieved this week! It has been wonderful to see so much creativity, enthusiasm and imagination in every class. ❤️
