Class 6 have been learning about the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and exploring his bold, expressive style. Inspired by his work, we created our own pieces of artwork using oil pastels to produce vibrant, colourful backgrounds. We then used black pastels to draw self-portraits, creating contrasts like those in Basquiat’s art.
While we worked, we listened to music to help us feel and respond to the colours, in the same way Basquiat drew inspiration from music when creating his artwork. 🎨
