This week as part of our French Topic, our P4/5 artistes began an artist study of painter Henri Matisse. We explored how Matisse cut shapes from coloured paper and placed them on bright backgrounds to create interesting and vibrant collages. We learned that he called this form of art ‘drawing with scissors’.
We were particularly inspired by one of his most famous artworks ,’The Snail’, and decided to create our own.
We learned that colour harmonies and contrasts were very important to Matisse, and made sure we thought about this when making our own abstract snails.
As you can see they look magnifique!
We cannot wait to continue our artist study next week.
