Year 2 Art Week - John Dyer

 This week we have been focusing on artist John Dyer. We started by learning about John Dyer and looking through some of his art work. In small groups we discussed what we thought of each of the pieces. We noticed that his paintings contained bright colours and many of them were set near the sea.

We chose our favourite John Dyer painting and practised carefully sketching birds, boats and daffodils in our sketchbooks. Using our colour mixing skills we mixed a variety of bright and eye-catching colours to use on our own John Dyer inspired pieces. We chose our favourite 4 colours and evaluated them to say why we liked them the most.

We then replicated our favourite creations onto cartridge paper and stuck them onto a blue wash background to create our own John Dyer painting.
