Adam's Class

Adam’s Class - John Dahlsen inspired Art

This half term, we are exploring the work of the environmental artist John Dahlsen.

We have looked at how he collects different materials, that have been thrown away, to create his own beautiful collages, often with a theme of the sea or seaside.

From looking at different pieces of his artwork, the children noticed how he often grouped materials by colours and layered them to create different effects and moods.

The children then created their own layered collages with the theme of –The Seaside. We chose three elements of the sand, sea and sun to represent in the different colours.
