Easter Egg Cards with my 7-10 Group

Painting Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol with my 9-13 group

For the last three classes we have been gradually building up portraits of Warhol and Frida. We began by lightly outlining the faces onto the canvas using the grid method, based on printed out photos of the artists. We also made monochromatic scales, mixing as many shades of purple/green as we could. The students first applied their midtones then focused on applying darker tones, then finally lighter tones. The students were then asked to choose a colour that complements one of the shades of green/purple for the back ground. They were shown a colour wheel in order to make this decision (choosing a shade on the opposite side of the wheel).
