Reception art- Yayoi Kusama

In Reception we have been looking at some art work by a Japanese artist called Yayoi Kusama (pronounced Ya-yoy Koo-sama). Yayoi Kusama is known for her extensive use of polka dots. We have been producing some art work in this style this week. We have focused on making pumpkin pictures using polka dots as Yayoi Kusama has produced lots of art using pumpkins. We have also been reading our story of the week ‘Pumpkin Soup’. While making our polka dot pictures we have been learning about what the 3 primary colours are-red, blue and yellow. Next week we will be experimenting to see what happens when we mix the primary colours together.
