Learning About Hundertwasser







This term for visual art we looked at Hundertwasser's art works to give us ideas. He was German (his name means 100 drops of water). His drawings were messy but amazing. They were wonderfully colourful and crooked. His trees looked like swirly lollipops. Hundertwasser was also an architect who designed crooked houses and apartments. It is most interesting that he designed the Kawakawa toilets. They walls of the toilets are cracked and decorated. From the outside you can see wine bottles in the walls, and onion tops on the pillars.

Hundertwasser loved crooked lines. He said he cursed straight lines!
