Artist Study - Don Binney and his artworks
We are learning about the New Zealand artist Don Binney. Here are some of our observations:
Don Binney uses colours that are different to the real thing (Liam)There is always a background to suit the birds (Alex) You can see lots of curvy lines and not many straight lines (Amelia)
He overlaps shapes (Kris), He mixes colours to make different sorts of colours - dark and light (Madison
I like how he makes the birds big and everything behind small so the bird is right in front. He shows how big the birds are by making them go off the page (Jaynee)

He draws birds (Brooklyn)
He makes the colours really stand out (Finn), He paints landscapes and uses things that are native to New Zealand (Paige)
His paintings are very simple and there's not too much detail (Amelia)
