Artist of the Half Term
At Wimborne Primary School we have a big interest in art, so we have created an Artist of the Half Term! Each half term an artist will be chosen! There will also be a competition at the end of each half term where children can win prizes for the best art work about the artist!
Our artist of the half term is currently Leonora Carrington
She was a leading female artist in the surrealist movement in the 20th Century. Originally born in the UK, she fled to Mexico during World War 2, where she lived for the rest of her life. Her work portrays characters from folklore and dreams, sometimes showing humans with animal heads, or floating in the sky. Leonora was well connected in the art world and also wrote books, as well as being a spokeswoman for the feminist movement. Please hand in or email entries too:
