'La Musique' (Matisse) Sunflowers (Van Gogh)

P1:Room 21 has been set a task to study about the famous painters Henri Matisse and Vincent Van Gogh.The paintings we are focussing on is ‘La Musique’ by Matisse and
Sunflowers by Van Gogh.Their styles are Fauvism (Matisse) and Expressionism (Van Gogh).

P2:The first painting we studied about was ‘Sunflowers’ from Van Gogh.To me it looked like Van gogh lived a miserable life because the sunflowers looked dull.Some of his paintings described his mood and feelings.When I saw the sunflowers it had a colour yellow that always meant happy but in his paintings it look like it meant sad.

P3:Our second painting we learnt about is ‘La Musique’ from Matisse.Matisse looked like he was happy when he painted this picture because it look like there were two happy women having a great time.One of the ladies was playing a guitar while the other one was listening to her.In the Backround there were palm trees above them that made look like they were in the islands.

P4:I think Matisse and Van Gogh have the same compare because they both used plants in their paintings.The difference about Van Gogh's is that he used plants in his paintings and Matisse used humans.
