The Girl with the Pearl Earring

We learnt about a very famous painting today called The Girl with the Pearl Earring. 


This painting had been lost for over 200 years before being discovered again!


It is an unique painting in that the subject is not posing formally rather she is glancing casually over her shoulder.


The artist Johannes Vermeer is Dutch. He painted this work in oil. He was a very talented painter who's use of shading was very skilled. 


After chatting about his painting we set about recreating it ourselves using a variety of forms, paint and pencil.
