Through looking at portrait composition I was reminded of the Fauvist movement. I introduce this exaggerated, vibrant, spontaneous concept to my classes and I see them apply their colour wheel theory to their work. I love how something inherently theoretical can be seen by children’s eyes as free and expressive; no other conditioning is needed.

With this in mind, I felt I needed to approach my style again in a new light and fresh eyes; the mind of a child. How liberating….
