Henri Matisse Art

This week we have been learning some new painting techniques.
First, we looked at the artworks of Henri Matisse. To find out more about him, read our individual blogs.
Then we talked about what still life meant. Next, we drew Miss M's guitar and a vase. After that, we painted it. We had to mix the primary colours (red, yellow and blue) together to create the colours we wanted. We also had white and black. We layered and blended the paint. We also used white to show light direction. After our paint was dry, we used black pastel to add details.
Here's Selina's finished work. You can see the rest of the classes on their individual blogs.
