Art with Peter Max

Mrs Croll introduced us to perspective drawing by artist Peter Max.   He is a German-born American illustrator and graphic artist, known for the use of psychedelic shapes and colour palettes.   We were inspired by his work from the 1960s where he used bright, neon colours.   Peter Max was interested in astronomy and this is reflected in his art which included stars, sun rays and planets.

We learned about ruling from a visual point (the VP)  and placement of shapes on paper.  We are using water colours to achieve the bright colours - just like Peter Max did.
