Inspired by Henri Matisse

Creative Arts Plus-Wednesday
(JK&SK)




The children explored the works of Henri Matisse in his later years when his art changed and he began to create wonderful cutouts. Look for hints of Matisse's influence in some of your books at home. Eric Carle's illustrations used colorful tissue and paper cutouts. Ezra Jack Keats also used paper collage to create many of his pictures. It will be interesting to see if your children can find any similarities between their story books and the work of Matisse. Enjoy!!
Thanks for checking in...Karen
