Art Inspiration – Yinka Shonibares ‘Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle’

Our Art Project this half term was focused around ocean.

Firstly we created a colour wrap using magazine, papers, wool, fabric and ribbon to reflect the sea and skyscape of a calm and tranquil voyage or a frightening and stormy voyage.

Next we mixed colours to create a palette of ocean colours dependent on time of day and weather. Here we discussed how the sea and land or sea and sky meet on the horizon. These paintings will form the background of ‘The Endeavor’ later in the project.
