Splat! The most exciting artists of all time. Mary Richards
I’ve always enjoyed learning about art and different art styles. This books gives us information on different art movements, at styles and famous artists throughout history. It describes the artists life, challenges they faced throughout their life, how they created their art and includes images of their artworks. One of my favourite artworks is The Starry Night by Van Gogh. The colours used and the thick paint is very eye catching. The books gives us inspiration to make our own artwork. Did you know that Picasso used collage style in his art and cut out images and patterns from newspaper? This is a great way to include recycling in art! Pollock’s style of drip painting, where you drip and splash paint all over the canvas sounds like a lot of messy fun.
