Our Art Gallery - inspired by Leonid Afremov

We enjoyed Art lessons using the works of Leonid Afremov as inspiration.  We sourced images of the work of the artist Leonid Afremov. There are many examples of his paintings online. They are beautiful and particularly colourful. We focused on creating a small area of the painting and then building on this to create a final piece. Lots of discussion centred around the colours used to create a paint palette for Leonid by mixing appropriate colours. We then got very messy as we used our fingers and hands to create the type of marks he makes. The paintings then progressed on as we created the background of leaves. We thought about symmetry and how folding could help to create the reflection on the page. Finally we painted in the tree trunks and added people.
