Amb l’arribada de la tardor, hem observat aquest retrat que representa la tardor (Autumn). És d’Arcimboldo i hem llegit una mica d’informació sobre ell:

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (also spelled Arcimboldi; 1527 – July 11, 1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers and fish.

Hem recordat el noms d’alguns fruits de la tardor:

GRAPE

CHESNUT

PUMPKIN

SWEET POTATO

I que a la tardor predominen els colors anomenats càlids:

In autumn, warm colours remind us of warm things. The red of fire, the brown tree trunks of the forest, the yellow of the Sun…

Recordeu que a l’octubre comencem els tallers i que el de color el fareu en anglès amb la Mabel!

Parlant sobre colors… I love “marsala”!
