On Monday we visited the Suter Art Gallery to learn about landscapes with Esther. Landscape can mean the way you place your paper on the side or it can be an art work of an outdoor scene. We learnt about some special techniques thta artists use when they paint landscapes. The use overlapping, angles, making things big in the foreground and small at the back and theyuse fading in the distance.
Esther helped us to make a ladscape.
We were so lucky after that because Sally Burton was there putting together her installation of Hueia Matenga and the wreck of the Delaware. She stopped and told us lots of stories about why she had chosen the different piees of driftwood and how she had used very limited colours for her work. It was very interesting. We will be going to see that exhibition next term.
