Hirst is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector. He dominated the art scene in Britain during the 1990's and continues to do so. He is known worldwide and is reportedly Britain’s richest living artist, with his wealth valued at £215million pounds!
He has produced many pieces of artwork in many forms. His 'spot paintings' are amongst Hirst's most widely recognised works. There are over 1000 in existence, dating from 1986 to 2011. The spot paintings vary in size and consist of rows of randomly coloured circles. Hirst now gets his assistants to create these works of art!
Today students learnt how to use glass paints to create a piece of useful piece artwork based in the style of Hirst.
Instructions
1. Make sure your glass is completely clean.

Today students learnt how to use glass paints to create a piece of useful piece artwork based in the style of Hirst.
Instructions
1. Make sure your glass is completely clean.
2. Using one colour at a time, randomly cover your jar in spots.
Remember to...
- Take your time
- A small amount of glass paint will go a long way
- Don't use too much glass paint as it will slowly run down your jar - Press lightly!
3. Repeat this method with other colours and leave to dry. It will take about 2 days to dry.
This artwork requires patience, concentration and a steady hand.
To conclude todays lesson all students are asked to complete a minimum of two sentences in their conclusion book. There is sentence starters at the front and a glossary at the back if they need any guidance. They can even draw a picture of their artwork.
As you can see from the following photographs all students created a beautiful jar. Each jar is unique and individual in style as most students wanted to really make it their own and add something extra, e.g. stripes, butterflies, flowers, fingerprints...
Amazing work again. Well done Art Club! :)
What a beautiful collection of Damien Hirst jars! I'm sure he would be very proud of all your hard work!
What will you be putting in your jar?
