Lex Benson Cooper Art

This Term, for our art, we have been studying Lex Benson Cooper. He is an famous New Zealand artist.

We painted a picture that was like something he would create. This is how we made them:

First we printed of some eigthties wallpaper and chose the one we wanted..Then we painted over them with the colors we wanted. We looked at the shading and texture to get it just right. To paint the Still Life, we traced what we saw, not what we thought we saw on a piece of nice paper. We then traced it onto the painting so we didn't have to rub out the outline if we drew it wrong. Then we painted the shape. We had to be really careful to bring out the shape and make it 3-D. When the painting was finished, we thought up a good name for it. I called mine, A Burst of Flame.

Here is my finished product.
