Day Three of the Jubilee art brings you a fun activity where children have the opportunity to research and learn about four different artists -Arty Queen Portrait
Key Skills: Shape,colour, form, research
Materials:Picture of the Queen, Images of Vincent Van Gogh, Roy Lichtenstein, PierMondrian and Gustav Klimt’s work, pencil, rubber, cartridge paper, medium towork in such as pencils, crayon or paint
Vocab : Boldcolour, texture, use of line, pattern, Great Masters, brush stroke
LearningObjectives :
To use an internet search engine to resource images
To learn about the work of the artists - VincentVan Gogh, Roy Lichtenstein, Pier Mondrian and Gustav Klimt
To apply knowledge of the artists work listed aboveto individual work
To develop drawing and painting skills
To complete a portrait of the Queen in the style offour different artists
Process:
Step 1: Research your artists. For my portrait I have decided to lookat the bold blocks of colour by Pier Mondrian, the dots and dashes of RoyLichtenstein, the wavy, subtle brush strokes of Vincent Van Gogh and thestunning pattern work in Gustav Klimt’s work.

| Klimt's amazing pattern work |
 |
| The pop art styling of Roy Lichtenstein |
 |
| The bold colours of Mondrian |
 |
| The amazing brushwork of Van Gogh |
Step2: Once you have decided on your artists, you need to draw an outline of theQueens head. You could also try this technique with other London iconic imagessuch as the Beefeaters, ravens, lions etc.
Step 3: You need to decide which artists style youwant to apply to which part of the portrait. Once you have done this you areready to start.
Step 4: I have chosen to work in pastels and pencilfor my portrait but you can work in any medium for this project and on anysurface. You could use paint on a canvas, paint on wood or even create thepiece using felt material – you are only limited by your imagination and thematerials you have available.
Step5: I chose to start with Mondrian at the bottom of the portrait, colouring insections of bold colour using oil pastels.
Step 6: For the face of the Queen I decide to usethe dot work on Lichtenstein. I coloured in the bold sections with pastels andthe dots with pencil.
Step7: For the Queens hair I use oil pastels and pencils creating the wavy subtlelines that Vincent Van Gogh uses in his artwork. I have used three differentcolours to help create texture within the hair.
Step8: Finally, for the crown I decided to use the stunning glittering pattern workof Klimt. I looked carefully at the pattern work he used in his art work andreplicated shapes and patterns across the crown in pencil.
Step9: For a final touch I cut the excess from around the portrait and mounted theimage onto black card.
Differentiation:
Key Stage 1: For Key stage 1 pupils four artistsmay be a bit overwhelming. It might be more productive to limit this to one-twoartists
.
Key Stage 2: Key stage 2 pupils could select twoartists that they have researched for a couple of sections of the portrait. Forthe remaining two sections the children can come up with their own styles andpatterns. Once again think about what other images this can be applied to aswell as the Queens portrait.
