Weekend Art Challenge – Warm Colours

We would like our students this week to come up with a piece of artwork which celebrates the use of warm colours. We are thinking about oranges, yellows, golds, reds, peaches and sandy colours.

The subject you paint or draw is completely up to you! It doesn’t even have to be an object or scene. It could be decorative, similar to the background of Gustav’s painting below.

You could take inspiration from the colour pallets of some of the famous paintings you can find online. You cant get much richer and more beautiful than the painting by Gustav Klimt. Monet and Turner also come to mind with some of their beautiful light filled pieces of work.

We are very much looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! Have fun!
