Art:

Walt Disney x Britto
Trees and Leaves w/collage: Resist

Walt Disney began his career as a cartoonist and animator, creating early works like “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit” before developing Mickey Mouse. His art style was characterized by its simple, clean lines and expressive character designs, which were both accessible and innovative. Disney’s animations often featured exaggerated movements and emotions, creating a sense of charm and relatability. Britto’s art is instantly recognizable for its bright, vivid colors and distinct, geometric patterns. His use of bold colors and dynamic compositions aims to uplift and inspire viewers, making his pieces popular in various contexts, from fine art galleries to commercial products. The artists are similar due to both enjoying cartoon figures and creating work that has themes of happiness, love, and positivity. This week, our students will be creating artwork inspired by both artists with watercolor and resist technique!
