Modigliani and Fedro Art

 For art during Term 1 we will be doing portraits of each other using the styles of Modigliani and Fedro.  The differences between Modigliani and Fedro is that Modigliani uses older colours that are less bright than Fedro's.  I prefer Fedro's style because he is more modern. They are practically the same - except the fact that Fedro is alive and Modigliani isn't. 

First we started off with pastels, using white we did our outlines for where our mouth was going and nose and eyes, etc. Next we started colouring our hair or our eyes. Next we  colour our person and last, but not least, edit the mistakes and hang it up on the wall.

I think that using this style and technique was fun to do and a quite easy alternative to painting portraits; its easy but it's not terrible like all the other shortcuts; its effective and eye catching.

Modigliani

Fedro

We think that Fedro has been inspired to be a junior Modigliani who I think is an exceptional artist. I think that he will probably make lots of money if he does the right style - hopefully he will be alive to be successful unlike  Picasso and Modigliani. 

Question: How come Picasso and Modigliani didn't manage to live a good life and Leonardo Divinci did?
