Mrs Wyatt
Mrs Wyatt's portrait is drawn by Alby (Year 6) in the style of Henri Matisse. (You can find out more about the artist at the bottom of this page.)
Mrs Wyatt works in the office at school. She is also the school bursar. We asked her some questions to find out more about her:
What was your dream job as a child?
My dream job when I was at school was to be a vet fulfilling my love of animals.
What was your favourite subject at school?
I loved Maths at school and studied the subject to A level. I continued with my love of figures by working in a bank. And now still love anything to do with figures.
What do you like to do when you're not at school?
Out of school I love to garden. I love going to horse events particularly eventing but enjoy supporting my daughters horses in dressage. My grandchildren also keep me on my toes and spending time with them and the rest of my family is of paramount importance to me.
Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter.
In 1905, Matisse and a group of artists now known as "Fauves" exhibited together in a room at the Salon d'Automne. The paintings expressed emotion with wild, often dissonant colours, without regard for the subject's natural colours. They are characterised by flat shapes and controlled lines, and use pointillism in a less rigorous way than before.
