The Girl With the Pearl Earring

In Term One, Year Five read  The Hero of Little Street, by Gregory Rogers, a graphic novel in which a boy dashes into an art gallery and steps into a painting (by the Dutch artist, Jan Vermeer) that leads him to the Little Street in the town of Delft, in seventeenth century Holland. You can see an excerpt from the book, published by Allen & Unwin here

Year Five created these collages are inspired by one of Vermeer's most well-known paintings, The Girl with the Pearl Earring.

Not all of the collages reflect the 17th Century style of Vermeer. Some of the collages may remind you of Pop Art, Cubism or Impressionism
