These are not easy to learn. It is said to be only black but it is possible to imagine it, to visualise the colours in our mind's eye. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914846600 Story: On a hot summer day, Kate drove her car to the park for a walk. When Kate came out of the park, she noticed an ice cream van parked in front of the park, and Kate was thirsty, so she went to buy an ice cream. She noticed that the ice cream shop had a sign saying that all the money from the sale of ice cream would go to a kitten rescue.]]> 2021-11-26 21:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914846600 c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914846810 2021-11-26 21:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914846810 c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914846907 2021-11-26 21:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914846907 c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914847052 2021-11-26 21:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914847052 c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914847353 2021-11-26 21:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914847353 I have no previous experience of using cut-outs. I like the process it makes me relax and immerse myself in the world of art. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914849610 2021-11-26 21:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914849610 My work can express the sea, although I am not very happy with the shape of the fish, probably because it is relatively rare. The ice cream doesn't show up particularly well. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914851074 2021-11-26 21:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914851074 I learnt that I can use flat pictures and can use the shadows created by the light to get different angles and shapes. You can cut out random shapes to put together a picture or anything. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914854783 2021-11-26 21:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914854783 I will work like this again in the future, to exercise my creativity and imagination. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914855533 2021-11-26 21:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914855533 Henri Matisse inspired me to make seaweed shapes that reminded me of the sea. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914856420 2021-11-26 21:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914856420 After looking at other students' work, I think we could add blue waves at the top to represent the ocean and add a frame to look more like the under the ocean's world. For the other cut-out I should have added holes in the paper to allow light to pass through, such as a car window. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914858769 2021-11-26 21:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914858769 For the under the sea world piece, I needed to add other colours, it looked too monotonous and too blue. Separate it a little and use more small fish and a big fish to tell the story a little: a mother fish with her little fish. c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914861171 2021-11-26 21:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1914861171 c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1958682031 I hadn't heard of Matisse before. Matisse's work is very free-flowing, and he is highly skilled in using different shapes to express his ideas.
He feels like a very easy-going person.
He shows us that art is not only expressed by brushes, but that cut-outs are an expression of creativity and imagination.
What attracted me to the paintings was his placement of the cut-outs and the use of space to form them.]]> 2021-12-21 12:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1958682031 c21340841 https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1958711729 Paper cutting is relatively easy for children.]]> 2021-12-21 12:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/c21340841/72f4vs9pia13hbty/wish/1958711729
