Today we learned about the art of Henri Matisse, a painter who was very important in the style of fauve art where artists painted with wild colours. We read a book and watched the video below about Matisse’s art, and used his style to make our own self-portraits. The students did a wonderful job of imitating Matisse’s style, and their choices of pastel colours were lovely; you can see your child's portrait on Seesaw! We now have a very colourful set of class portraits. |
