Robert Delaunay Art

This term we have been looking at the artist 'Robert Delaunay'. My class started with the art using collage, M1 started with painting and M3 started with pastel. We will all have a turn at all the different techniques. 

First we had to draw a plan of what we might do so that we had an idea of what we will do when it came to do our art.

Secondly we had to grab a template and cut out different coloured and sized circles out of coloured card. 

Thirdly the next day we finished cutting out our circles and also cut out some tissue paper circles so that we could put them over two circles and it would blend it. 

Then we had to place and glue all the different smaller circles on to the biggest circle. 

After we had done that we went and showed Mrs Prendergast and if she said it was good and we could move on to the next step she would pass us a choice of black or white card to stick our circle on to. 

We would then grab another sheet of card (which would be different to the one you grabbed before) and stick it on to that. It made it have a really great effect because once you had stuck on the circles to the first piece of card Mrs Prendergast cut a circle around the edge. 

Some of the effects of the different colours and patterns people used were amazing!



I thought that is was a great idea and I can't wait until I get to do the next technique!

  1. What great instructions you have written..I could follow these to teach a class easily. I really like your art - you have balanced the shapes well. I like the idea of focusing on one artist and doing 3 techniques focusing on them.

  2. Hi Reagan.
    Your finished collage looks really cool. What other techniques are you going to do?
