We are looking at David Hockney this week. He’s such a wonderful and interesting artist. Two of the students wanted to do their initial sketch from observation like he does so say on the step of my studio. I have been working this term on encouraging the children to really look at their subjects and try to draw only what they see. That doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be completely accurate, it just means to draw what interests them and what feels right. Hockney does the same, hence why his landscape paintings are so bright and colourful. We like a challenge in class and the kids never fail to take it on. #kidsmakeart #davidhockney #davidhockneylandscapes #thebiggerpicture #observationaldrawings #artists #kidsartworkshop #afterschoolartclub #northlondon #northfour (at Harringay) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMVW13HBsp/?igshid=csycc2fdp12j
