Year 4

In year 4  we studied self portraits by two artists; Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo. The picture and the background show the personality of the artist.

The swirls in the background show how confused Van Gough was when he painted this picture of himself.

The jungle in the background shows us the part of Mexico where Frida comes from.

 

 

We used our sketch books to collect ideas about ourselves;

the colours

 

 

and the things that reflect our personalities.

We used these ideas to create our own self portraits;

 

with a background that says something about ourselves. Look at the backgrounds of these self portraits, what kind of children do you think they are?
