Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Suri used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. Suri used colour and shape to define the different areas of her tree study i.e. the trunk, the leaves and the background. In her painting she experimented with different shades of one colour to define these areas. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Suri experimented with a range of subjects for her final work using ideas from her artistic exemplar.

Evidence of learning

Suri uses an artistic exemplar to explore ideas about Cubism. She creates a number of different studies to explore and refine her ideas- that’s what professional artists do! I can’t wait to see her final work!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Suri demonstrates the Vision principles of Curiosity in continually experimenting with and searching for new ideas in cubism, Capability in executing beautiful, bold and expressive artworks and Connected in connecting with what other artists are doing within the art style of Cubism. She uses the Key Competencies of Thinking as she develops her own creativity as well as follow an inquiry process.
