Britto Style Landscape

Middle school was introduced to Brazilian artist Romero Britto

A pop Artist who celebrated daily objects with bold patterns and colors.

SO here we began our vivid journey of Prints, Patterns, and Land.

We began with a simple Beach scene.

We discussed Horizon line, back ground, middle ground, foreground, overlapping, etc.
Then we dissected our landscape with some mathematical terms; perpendicular lines, parallel lines, diagonal lines, etc.
Each space had to be filled with intricate prints.

I pushed coloring darkly and after they got over the initial pain- My students"my hand hurts" Me "that means you are doing it right" They realized how great the colors looked.

 I really loved how these turned out. Once the students saw each others intricate patterns they all took off! They want to do this to everything!

This artist really got into the print/pattern making. The students and I loved looking at hers for inspiration.
