The Fauves: Wild & Wonderful Landscapes
This workshop introduces children to the Fauves who used colour in exciting and unexpected ways to create landscapes full of joy, energy and movement. Using complimentary colours and simplifying the complex elements in a landscape, the children experimented with acrylic paint on textured paper to create lively and expressive paintings.
These workshops took place during the academic years 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 which were both designated Crabtree's Year of Art. At the end of each year, the work was mounted and exhibited as part of the celebratory Open Day in July.
