Last week, we worked on Matisse masterpieces. Henri Matisse was a French artist who made bright collages in simple shapes. Matisse was a leader in the art style, Fauvism. Matisse loved using colors and shapes and believed that they told stories in art.
The children made their own collages by cutting and tearing pieces of various papers. They each spent a lot of time planning what shapes and colors to use. Andrew commented how much he loved the project and Jackson asked me why I hadn't told him what we were doing ahead of time. I'm finding that the boys love gluing and pasting ANYTHING!
In the morning, we'll be working on masks and learning about a new artist. There's rain in the forecast but I've got plenty planned to keep the children happy and busy.
