The Gr. 4\/5 Art classes have just completed a study of the artist Sonia Delaunay. She was a French artist, born in Ukraine, who was married to another well known artist named Robert Delaunay. She had a very modern and unique style that often used lines and circles. Her style came to be known as Orphism. Sonia studied colours, and liked to use complementary colours to make her work bold and bright. Complementary colours are colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel. She also applied her style and colour theory to textiles, fashion, and design. She even painted a car!<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples of our students’ work inspired by Sonia Delaunay:<\/p>\n
