Year 3/4C had a fantastic trip to Leeds Art gallery yesterday morning, and it was well worth the wait! The children enjoyed two workshops: 1) art detectives – looking at abstract art and asking questions; 2) sketching and drawing abstract art – looking at shapes and patterns in and around the art gallery and drawing them on paper.
So, what is abstract art?
Amanda Phillips the leader of the workshop, explained to us what abstract art is.
“Abstract art is inspired by something in the real world. ”
“Abstract art is shape, pattern, colour, texture and also the spaces in between.”
