Words of wisdom from Hannah and Danika

Hello. This is Hannah Greenhalgh and Danika Lawrence from 10CLS/10b2. Our group are currently working on our Matisse final piece.
We have studied a variety of Matisse's work from 'Blue Nude' to 'Still-life with Gold Fish'. Many homework’s were set prior to the final project including Matisse title page, research page, and the Matisse collage.
Throughout the project we have been using a variety of materials including: collage, acrylics, sand and coloured paper. Some of the standard of the work in our class is fantastic, including work from Courtney Casella-crisp, Tania Takhar, Zach Shannon, Bethany Anderson and Ellie Walker. They have used many styles and techniques in their work, making them outstanding. The final project is set to be completed by 24th February. In order to make this happen normal homeworks have been set aside and pupils have been working hard at home and in lesson - and also attending clubs.
We will soon be publishing these final pieces on the blog.
(Thanks to Hannah and Danika for this written piece)
