As part of our fine arts focus break this week we learned about Romero Britto and his engaging, bright pop art. Students were excited to try to replicate the happy, positive images and colors. Britto combines elements of cubism, fauvism, pop art, and graffiti in his paintings, using his bright and vibrant palette to portray lighthearted subject matter, creating a visual expression of hope and happiness (source). We chose a whale as a topic so no one felt stuck on what to draw, but anyone who really wanted to choose something else was encouraged to tackle pop art their way.
