Our artist for spring term-Henri Matisse

The children in nursery have been learning about Henri Matisse.

This artwork is called The Snail. Does it look like a snail's spiralling shell to you? (Pssst there is also a secret tiny snail hidden in the picture – can you see it? If you look very, very closely you might just spot a tiny snail shape on top of the purple square).

The Snail shows Matisse’s interest in bright colour. He has arranged complementary colours alongside each other to create a vibrant effect. The children have enjoyed learning about his work and have enjoyed making their own art work butterfly inspired by Henri Matisse.
