Atelier Aquatic ​ Drawing inspiration from life in the Ocean, to life on Earth


​Marine Matisse, Sea Klee

Henri Matisse- 1946- Oceania, The Sea                                                 Paul Klee-1950- Fish Magic
Inspired by artist Matisse and Klee Students learnt about marine life and the Sea. 
"Marine Matisse, Sea Klee" projects include- "Spirals in the Sea", "Sea Stars", "Fishy friends", "School of Fish".

​Biological diversity in the oceans has decreased dramatically since industrialization began in the 19th century. The primary causes for the losses include the destruction of habitats by trawler fishing, pollution and eutrophication of the seas, as well as the steady progress of climate change. Biological diversity is probably declining more rapidly than ever before in the history of the Earth. The world's oceans are losing their biodiversity at an accelerating rate. Over fishing is often to blame, but for animals such as marine turtles that depend on land and sea, a range of human activities now threatens their habitats at home and abroad. Coral reefs are often referred to as the rain forests of the sea, and are home to about a quarter of all known marine creatures, including green and hawksbill turtles. Sadly, one fifth of the world's reefs have already been destroyed and half are seriously threatened. We need to manage our relationship with the sea in ways that allow the wealth of marine wildlife to thrive, now and for future generations.

 
We learnt about:
  • Different creatures who live in the sea and what makes them special
  • Using inspiration from artists; Matisse and Klee
  • Visual Elements; Colour, Pattern, Texture 
  • Collage and mixed media of oil pastels and watercolour
  • How we can conserve, protect and regenerate life in the Sea
  • Warm Colours, Cold Colours in art and the effect of global warming on life in the Sea
  • How we can use recycled materials to make Art

Feedback

"What you did here was so AMAZING, you were such a good teachers, educators and a very resourceful team. Thank you for having you and the team here doing a wonderful projects. It helps us to be more knowledgeable and responsible to our MOTHER EARTH. You let kids expressed their feelings about the environment through painting. You taught people how to protect marine lives and to preserve it. What you have done here in Port Barton was highly appreciated. No words can say how much we love your artwork. Our team would like to express our deepest gratitude for sharing your knowledge about marine conservation and everything. We wish you all best Anita and the team, good health and a happy life. Thanks to Atelier Aquatic"

“This is one of the most unforgettable experiences in my life. My classmates realised the importance of the sea and its ecosystem and realized the effects of their wrongdoings. The best thing we can do is to share our knowledge,”
