We've been painting with my Year 9s this term.... on wood panels. The girls were asked to choose a landscape and section off the wood panel with the landscape on the top and below, a sanded back section on which they'd paint a small still life relating to the scene. The works are based on the art practice of a contemporary French artist and integrate two very old disciplines - landscape and still life (we just don't tell the girls that's what they're doing). They're not all quite finished yet, but you may be interested in how things are looking. Here's the results of their layered, blended, washed and sanded-back paint so far. Painting stars, all of them burning brightly....
Wow! They're delightful, they really are fabulous 9s!
