In Expressive Arts and Design this week, we have explored the painting called ‘Little Blue Horse’ by artist Franz Marc.
We talked about what an artist is, and what we could see in the painting, including the shapes and colours.
We read ‘The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse’ by Eric Carle – a book inspired by Franz Marc’s painting.
We looked at the different animals and bright colours used in the book, and created our own brightly coloured, collaged animals. These included a yellow cow, a purple rabbit and a green tiger!
STARS OF THE WEEK!
Billie and Florence
Both girls really enjoyed reading the story of the Little Blue Horse this week, and put a great deal of effort into creating their own collaged animals – a pink unicorn and a blue horse!
Well done girls!
