ART AFTER SCHOOL : ABC is for Circus

ABC is for Circus is our current ART AFTER SCHOOL artroom inspiration!

This book by artist Patrick Hruby is colourful, graphic and dynamic.

We love this book as a way to explore:

Shapes! Making pictures with shapes
Patterns and Repetition
Portraits and Expression
What is a silhouette?
Colours and Contrast
Composition and Scale

Things we could notice about Hruby's pictures :

Hruby makes faces using simple geometric shapes
The things in the background are shapes with no detail are called silhouettes
Hruby's style is graphic and exaggerated. Legs don't bend that way in real life!
There are a lot of patterns in these pictures. And opposites
How did this artist choose to depict hands and feet?
Hruby uses almond shapes for eyes and hair

We're going to use shapes to create a picture called a PORTRAIT.

Artwork made with cut paper is called a collage
Our collage portrait will include the head, neck and shoulders of someone at Hruby's Circus
We're using bright colours and shapes inspired by Hruby's illustration style
Our portraits will have silouhettes in the background

Starting with a large oval.
Artists are encouraged to experiment with their portrait features and expression before gluing down.

Materials include bright paper shapes, pencil, scissors, punches, stickers and glue sticks.

Circus Portrait by Safia

Creating the silouhettes. Artists included tents, rides, banners and flags.

The circus banners are made by drawing upside-down triangles side by side on a long line.

Circus Portrait by Reina

Circus Portrait by Aija

Circus Portrait by Caroline

Circus Portrait by Rebecca
