Year 2 have been very proud of their art work inspired by the French artist Henri Rousseau. This week they explored colour in his work and learnt how to create shades and tints of colours he used in his jungle paintings. The children were amazed at the different colour variations they were able to make just from adding white or black. They then took a small section of a jungle vine and mixed colours to layer paint to add the detail. The children certainly showed lots of creativity and patience.
