Explore the decorative backgrounds associated with Klimt-inspired portraiture with this Patchwork Portrait Background activity.
Students create a patterned background for a portrait using squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, spirals and repeated motifs, considering how different sections can work together to create a balanced composition.
Students investigate pattern, geometric shape, motif, contrast, metallic colour and harmony while developing their design and composition skills.
Includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, visual inspiration, teacher tip, main activity, extension challenge and self-assessment.
Ideal for KS3 portrait projects, Gustav Klimt artist studies, pattern and composition lessons, cover work and independent learning.
