Year 2 have been learning about the Australian artist Pro Hart.
We learnt that he was a sheep farmer and miner in the Australian outback who taught himself to paint.
From drawing and sketching to the famed landscapes and narrative paintings of his heyday, Pro was energised by all forms of creativity. He was a performance artist who experimented endlessly with new forms of expression, a sculptor who loved metal and stone and an inventor extraordinaire who loved tinkering in his back shed.
Pro Hart, for the older parents, is best remembered from the TV commercial where he’d spill food onto a rug to create the picture of a dragonfly.
Here are some of our own interpretations of Pro Hart’s Dragonflies and Ants.
