G.C.S.E art

[Stephanie]

Hi pals,

I've chosen GCSE art, and the topic is LANDSCAPES.

After much explaining, the teacher has allowed me to do a landscape piece relating to The Great War.

I was thinking of a scene of The Thiepval memorial, with trenches weaving through the gravestones and crosses.

Anyway,

any suggestions, ideas?

or any war artists covering the whole scene (i.e. not focused on a main soldier)?

Remember, im trying to keep this about landscape.

Ive found some nice pieces from Paul Nash and Otto Dix.

Thanks pals, youre one in a billion!

Steph,

Have a look at Will Longstaff's painting of menin Gate, vimy etc. Give you some inspiration.

Longstaff takes some beating. I like CRW Nevinson's black and white landscape drawings too.

France produced a couple of fine landscape artists in Francois Flameng click here and Georges Scott click here. Flameng in particular produced many fine watercolours which appeared in the magazine L'Illustration.
