Last week we were rotating around each class to learn about art. In the classrooms we learnt about different styles, techniques,sketches and art works. We learnt about artists like Van Gogh, Matisse, Monet, Picasso and Daniella Hulme.  

On Tuesday we went to Room 22 to study about Vincent Van Gogh. We had to sketch a flower, then paint it. The style of Van Gogh is he tries to make his paintings come alive. We had to paint the flower yellow then lightly paint it with a bit of red. I was trying to make my painting look as similar to Van Gogh’s as possible. Van Gogh had a special kind of brush stroke technique that blends the colours together which is very amazing.

 In Room 18 we learned about Pablo Picasso. He had a unique style of painting called Cubism. He didn’t like the style that people were using so he made up his own. Picasso wondered what his paintings would look like if he changed the perspectives of his paintings. It looked very weird but it was Picasso.
