Y2 Art & Design: Investigating Texture!

Back to News

29th Apr 2022

Our Y2 children have investigated what texture is.

They considered various questions, including:

What are the textures of a range of different materials?
How was texture used by Henri Matisse in his work, ‘The Snail'?
What materials did he decide to use?
Can I identify the content (what it is)?
Can I identify the form (light/dark)?
Can I consider the process (how it is made)?
Can I describe the mood of the piece (the feelings created)?

The children then created their own pictures using a variety of textures, inspired by nature's inspiration!
