Lockdown Art Challenge - Valentine's Day Art- Romero Britto

It is Valentine's Day on Sunday, so here is a nice, simple idea for some Valentine’s Day art.

This is a self-portrait of Brazilian artist Romero Britto.

 

Romero loved art from an early age.

 

He taught himself and would paint at any given opportunity.

 

Before he was a professional artist he would use his imagination to paint on surfaces, such as newspaper and cardboard.

 

His art always includes pattern, bright, bold colours and black border lines.

 

The style of his art includes features of cubism as it the pictures are separated into geometric shapes and it has bright colours and bold patterns similar to pop art.

 

You will probably notice that he also uses a lot of hearts in his work. He founded the ‘Happy Art Movement’ in 1992 with the mission to inspire happiness, fun, love and optimism around the globe through his unique art and vibrant colours.

Watch this video to see him in action…

Your Valentine’s Day lockdown art challenge is to either... 

- have a go at the heart puzzle that Romero makes in the video

- create a Romero Britto style portrait of someone you love 

- or make a Valentine’s day card in the style of Romero Britto. 

  

Remember to share your art with us by emailing it into school or putting it onto Seesaw.

Have fun art fans!
