He taught himself how to paint and was influenced by Picasso, Miro and Matisse. His painting style is very abstract and has a distinctly Mediterranean flavour due to his love of bright and bold colours. The children learned about the artist, his techniques and his style before producing their final piece of artwork - a collaged stylised portrait inspired by the artist himself. A small sample of the fabulous designs can be seen above and they will be proudly displayed in school shortly. WELL DONE YEAR 6!
