During Art Week we thought about skills, media and artists. We made careful observational line drawings of still-life objects (leaves) outside in the playground; we explored texture and shape by making bark and leaf rubbings. We then went on to use mixed media to create pastel resist butterflies for a summer display. We found that crumpling the paper before painting made different textural effects. We created our own work in the style of Matisse (his later work, cutting coloured paper); and we copied out descriptove poems from literacy to use in a collage of a blown dandelion on a sunset background. Here are some pictures of our Matisse work in progress:
