Artist Study of Chila Kumari Singh Burman in Year 5

This week in Year 5 we have been looking at the artwork of Chila Kumari Singh Burman who makes artwork from more than one material. The children have completed some research in groups looking at terms such as ‘mixed media’ and ‘pop artist’. They have looked at her self-portrait called ‘Auto-portrait’ and how it is made up of 28 small portraits of herself. The children have had a go at doing their own portraits using continuous line drawing and using words from a poem to help them. The children will finish this weeks task by using collage techniques and paint to help them create a self-portrait.
