Matisse Cut-Outs

Today we looked at some of the work by the artist Henri Matisse. Then we made our own pictures by cutting out shapes, like those used in his art, and sticking them onto coloured paper. This link will bring you to an interactive activity called Matisse Cut-Outs. http://www.pbs.org/parents/creativity/sensory/matisse.html
