Children return to school Mon 8th April

This week the artists we have looked at were Mary Cassatt and Kara Walker.  The children looked at how both artists used different types of media to create different effects.  Children then used these skills and techniques to create their own art work.  Below are some fantastic pictures of children’s portraits using oil pastels and silhouettes to identify social issues around the world.

Can you give me a fact each about Kara Walker and Mary Cassatt?

What was different about their work?

What have you enjoyed in art week?

    A fact about Kara Walker is that the colours are only Black and white because her paintings represented slavery.
    A fact about Mary Cassat is she used oil pastels to draw pictures of children and there mums.
    The difference between their work is that Mary Cassat only draws nice and happy pictures .And Kara Walker makes sad pictures because slavery is very sad and for the people that couldn’t see their family no more.
    I have enjoyed doing the silhouette because we got to use different types of materials.
