As part of our Term 3 topic of communicating through art, we are reading about artists in reading time. Some students wrote letters to an artist in response to their reading.
Dear Edgas Degas,
I am Naomi. I love your beautiful
art. My favourite is the ballerina made out of wax. I have a few questions I
want to ask you. Why is your artwork focused on ballet dancers? Are you friends
with Claude Monet? What inspired you?
Love from Naomi
P.S Please write back
P.S.S You should start drawing hip -
hop dancers.

Dear Georges Seurat
Hi my name is a Alex. My favourite painting of yours is the
la grand jatte. I like it because of its big space and details. I have got a
few questions for you one of them is who inspired you to be a painter? And what
gave you the idea to create the la grand
jatte?
You’re sincerely Alexandra
Alex, Naomi,
ReplyDeleteYou are obviously enjoying studing fine art. 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte' is a very famous painting (and a lovely day at the park!). I wonder whether Messrs Degas and Seurat will reply?
regards, Marcus
Great letters! You could try some drama work where you use a technique called 'hot seating' for someone to come up with replies as the artists you are looking at.
ReplyDeleteWell done Naomi and Alex. I love your writing.
