“A good picture is when the picture is full of magic, when you can feel the happiness in it, when it makes you laugh or cry, or when it makes something happen. It should be like a flower or a tree. It should be like Nature. It should be that we miss it when it isn’t there.” Hundertwasser

We think Hundertwasser is a very inspiring artist and architect (Can you remember the difference between the meanings of those names? Perhaps there isn’t really a difference?)

This website gives you some good information about him and some ideas for making art:

Spirals, Flowers and Patterns: Learning about Hundertwasser

Have a go at designing some buildings in his style or adding a Hundertwasser style extension to your home.

Most of you will have heard me talking about Circle Line Art School. It is a Youtube channel which makes really helpful videos to help you improve your drawing. Check out this video about drawing a glass of water – lots of shading to be done.

One of the reasons I like to draw is because it gives me time to think about things. We have all been thinking about food lots at school this week (and I, in my role of mum,  seem to have to think about it all the time at home too!!). Its good to think about healthy drinks too. Water is something that we all need in our bodies. We are very lucky to have clean water coming straight into our homes in London, without even thinking about it!

We would love to see some of your work – email it in to me at school or post it on here or instagram!
