  1. My favourite artist is Vincent Van Gogh. I like his extraordinary use of vivid, startling colours and his sketches. (Pavan)

    I like 'The Umbrellas' because everyone is crowded in and they all have the same umbrellas. It's very imaginative and it amazes me! (Sophia)

  2. My favourite artist is Vincent Van Gough because all his pictures have so many dark and my favourite colours.

    My favourite thing about the picture you sent miss Croash is because the picture is so blue and pretty and its a blue like the sea and like the sky at night.

    I really like "The Umbrellas"because all of the coluors are so dark but so vivid at the same time.I like how they all have the same coloured umbrellas.

  4. This painting is quite interesting, as it has lots going on... it think it focuses on the lady in front with the basket and no umbrella, and the 2 children & the little girl looks quite nice with her olden style clothes and a hoop and stick....I don't like the fact that it is very dark and depressing... My favourite painting is Michelangelo, “The Torment of St. Anthony...because it shows a saint being tormented by devil like creatures.

    1. I am a big fan of Renoir but I also enjoy sculpture. If you visit the Tate Modern Gallery, you will find a sculpture by Dame Barbaba Hepworth that I'm very fond of too.

      The strings and how they are connected make me think of how how far we can reach when we work together to support one another.

  10. I like the painting:'Dolphins jumping out of water',by Juan Alcantara , because, as the title suggests, it involves dolphins jumping out of the water. The colours are very bright and vivid, its like a sea of colours on one piece of paper!

  11. Dear Miss Croash, I really liked the painting that you showed to us for our art lesson, because I thought the vivid colour and the use of patterns were awesome though it was quite a challenge to draw. I was thinking that the beautiful painting was going to leap off the page any second,

  12. I really like the painting with all the boats in the harbour. The boats are so crowded and that's what I like about it

  14. I really like this picture as the artist has used many techniques in little parts of the painting. I like this picture as everyone is kind of crowded in to the place of where he painted it.

    My favourite artist is Vincent Van Gogh and I like his painting of ‘The Sunflower Pot’ as his colour and texture skills are really good.
