MAUD LEWIS, A CANADIAN ARTIST

 

  In Art and Crafts ,Primary Year 6 students have been introduced to Maud Lewis ´work.

  This Canadian folk artist lived most  of her life in poverty ,in a tiny house in Marshalltown (Nova Scotia)  with her husband, Everett. She was born with birth defects and developed rheumatoid arthritis which  reduced her mobility, especially her hands.

  Lewis used bright colours in her paintings and subjects were flowers , animals and outdoor scenes. She painted every available surface in her home.

  These are the amazing houses that  the students have made following Maud´s painting style.

TARSILA DO AMARAL, A BRAZILIAN PAINTER

 In  Art and Crafts, Primary Year 5 students have been introduced to Tarsila Do Amaral´s work.

This Brazilian painter is considered one of the leading Latin American modernist artists. She used sweeping curves and bright colours and wanted to add indigenous Brazilian elements and the vivid and unique natural landscape of her homeland.

These are the paintings that the students have created following Tarsila´s style.

  Can you find in each painting “Cuca”, the evil witch?
