Famous British ArtistsThis week we are going to look at a famous British artist called David Hockney.

If you notice David uses very bright colours and doesn’t have 2 colours the same next to each other (unless they are a different shade).

He uses very bold shapes to create his objects. David likes to paint landscapes or scenery, splitting large areas into sections.

Your task is to create a painting or drawing (depending on the resources you have at home) of a picture in the style of David Hockney. You may even want to log onto Purple Mash to create your artwork. Click on Art then 2 paint a picture.

I have chosen some images from around Saddleworth for you to use. Choose one of them to change into the style of David Hockney. Do you recognise them?

I am looking forward to seeing your creations!
