- Duration: 03:39
- Australian artist Ken Done shows Kirsten O'Brien how he uses his simplified style of drawing and painting to capture the landmarks and places that most inspire his work. Ken Done composes a picture on site, using the landmark of Tower Bridge in London as the focus for his artwork. Using bold strokes and colours with very little detail, children work with the artist to compose their own pictures in his simplistic style.

Ideas for use in class

Using alternative colour schemes to represent real objects. Developing an individual artistic style and ways of working.
