UNITED KINGDOM - LANDSCAPE COLLAGES
LANDSCAPE COLLAGES
Landscapes are works of art that depict different views of natural land. This can include mountains, fields, and forests, just to name a few. Landscapes often include a body of water in their compositions. When we think of landscape, we think of the natural world.
Artists typically create landscapes of places they’ve visited like the countryside where they spent a summer vacation, or something more familiar like a rural area near one’s home. Sometimes artists make landscapes of places they’ve never seen before or areas they invented in their mind.

UNITED KINGDOM - Pablo Picasso & Collage Art
Pablo Picasso & Collage Art
Picasso and Braque first began to make collages, or papiers collés, in 1912. The use of cut papers, and in
particular clippings from newspapers, seemed a natural extension of their
earlier experiments with stenciled lettering. Whereas their earlier Cubist works had involved deconstructing objects into their
component parts and planes, works like this one sought to construct a unified composition from abstracted
fragments of the objects depicted. The newspaper in this work
may have been chosen for its faded colour, since it was already nearly thirty
years old when Picasso used it.

UNITED KINGDOM - Pointillism and our little artists
Pointillism
Pointillism is an Impressionist painting technique developed by Georges
Seurat & Paul Signac, based on colour theory and the use of complementary
colours in particular. The painting is created using countless tiny dots of
colour, placed in close proximity to each other. When viewed at a distance, the
human eye is meant to fuse the individual dots together into areas of solid
colour (http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/glossary/pointillism)
