Year 3 are learning about local contemporary artist Tracy Savage

This week in art we have been learning about a local artist called Tracy Savage from Hornsea who has painted lots of paintings of our local area including ‘The Fruit Market’ in Hull and ‘Norwood’ in Beverley.

We spend some time looking at her work and finding the subjects of her paintings and the style in which she paints.

We used our knowledge of the drawing techniques we have learned so far this unit (shading, using pressure, hatching and cross hatching) to recreate one of her paintings using pencil in preparation for next lesson where we will be creating our own Tracy Savage inspired drawing of landmarks in Hull.
