Celebrating David Hockney with Year 8

To celebrate the launch of 85-year-old artist David Hockney’s new exhibition in London, Year 8 have been exploring his famous landscape paintings and digital art.

In the 60 years Hockney has been creating world renowned art, he has offered a way of reimagining our local landscape. Students took photographs of their gardens and other local landscapes and worked with acrylic paint and paint pens to see the world in a new light. Colours were drastically altered, and details were added using a range of mark making. The range of landscapes created have been incredibly successful and demonstrates such technical ability and imagination. Well done to Year 8!
