Francis Bacon Our first impressions and feelings In

Francis Bacon

Our first impressions and feelings ► In the classroom and in the school library we started by looking at some works of art by this artist and … We thought everything was very stange! ► We also knew a little about his life and after we gave our opinions.

When we saw this…

We said that… ► “Francis Bacon´s paintings make me heart attacks”( Sebastião); ► “Francis is a little crazy”( Tiago) ► “Pictures are strange”( Pedro) ► “ I think that his paintings are artistic” (Beatriz) and strange ( José e Francisco) ► “We loved his paintings, they are cool!” ((Paulo e Jorge)

► “Paintings are interesting”(Martim) ► “I think he has paintings with talent”( Patrícia) ► “They are nice !” ( Beatriz , Cátia, Marco) ► “I like the painter arts” ( Rodrigo) ► “The paintings make me to vomit. ”( Bruno) ► “ I think he makes extraordinary paintings!” (Carla) ► I love Francis Bacon´s paintings because they are strange! ( Alexandre)

On another lesson the teachers threw us down a challenge ► Recreate Francis Bacon in colours, this means, to imagine who was the real person that the artist wants to portray. And, we did nice works , as you can see.

But we did more… ► In another lesson we imagined the opposite situation, this means, we draw a scene of a fairy tale on Francis Bacon´s way. After we pasted on a thick sheet of paper and we folded in three parts and in the front page we pasted a picture of the author. It was very fun to do this work!
