Monday Matisse....

We took a look at Matisse and discussed his style of work. We also had at the opportunity to watch a short video clip of him working on one of his paper cut works for inspiration. 

Each student started with a silhouette and created their own story using scraps that they cut or tore. There were many stories. One was dancing, one was on the moon and one underwater......

 When students were not working on their individual work they had the opportunity to collaborate on a large piece of paper.

One student created a snail like pattern similar to the Matisse work we discussed.
