Carving into Colour

Date: 9th Mar 2021 @ 8:43pm

As part of our Art learning this half term, Year Two have begun to explore the work of two famous artists, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.  This week we explored the later work of Henri Mattise.  We discovered that as he became older, Matisse suffered from ill health which prevented him from painting.  He began to cut into coloured paper with scissors and in doing this he invented a new medium, 'carving into colour'.

Taking inspiration from Matisse's artwork we created our own pieces using only scissors and coloured paper.  We had to carefully consider lines, colour and shape when creating our masterpieces.
