The third grade class spent about 30 minutes looking at and discussing the artwork of Friedrich Hundertwasser. The reactions were quite amusing, the students seemed surprised by the intensity of color and pattern created by the Austrian artist. Hundertwasser is one of my top ten favorite painters so I love talking with my students about his work.
We began this project by separating the paper into two sections and in one, used oil pastels to draw a landscape. In the other, a cityscape. The drawing focus was on using concentric circles and shapes, repetitive patterning, background patterns and bright colors.
After the space was very filled with oil pastel drawings, the students used watercolor paints to finish the artwork.
I love how colorful and vibrant these turned out. The students worked very hard for 5-6 class periods to finish, I am so proud!
