Magritte Window collages - Year 3

The Year 3 students looked at the art elements and principles of Surrealism artist, Rene Magritte's 'The Month of the Grape Harvest' artwork. Students think- paired- shared their observations and thoughts about Magritte's artwork, with many students agreeing that the main art elements were colour (dull, brown, green, grey), line (straight lines) and the principle of repetition. Many students felt that the artwork make them a little 'sad' or 'bored.' After the students analysed Magritte's artwork, they were assigned the task to create their own window collage, using a variety of materials - there were 2 main requirements for this task: 
1. make your artwork cheerful and happy 
2. it must include a window 
3. your photo will be duplicated x6 times.

After leaving their sculptures to dry the final step was to design and paint them. Students could choose if they wanted to make a pencil or crayon.

For their Zany Zebra artworks the students used the following mediums; painting (with a focus on warm colours), drawing (an introduction to cartooning) and paper collage (for the grass trimming). The students even mounted their own artworks, complete with a decorative patterned frame.
