Peter Thorpe- Space Art

Date: 20th Jun 2023 @ 9:38am

We worked hard last half term to create art work inspired by the artist Peter Thorpe. We created rockets and planets; using the pastels to make them colourful. We chose whether we would like to blend together the colours by rubbing the pastel designs with our fingers. Afterwards, we used splats and lines of paint to make the paintings look more abstract, just like Peter Thorpe's paintings. When we had finished, we set up an art gallery in our classrooms. The Year 1 children were invited to visit our art gallery. The Year 2 children took great pleasure in explaining to them how we had created our designs and the media we used. Great work Year 2!
