Matisse, Merello and Still Life

Year 4 have been prolific with their artwork. They began the term by painting self portraits that represented a word beginning with their first name, such as Silly Sam and Amazing Amber. They then turned their skills to drawing from observations and painting in watercolours. Finally they combined their skills and knowledge to produce some self portraits influenced by the drawings of Matisse and the colourful works of contemporary Spanish artist Merello. The following are the artworks we viewed and discussed.
