Matisse Collage

Second Grade students looked at artwork by Henri Matisse who was known for his cut paper collages. Students learned that Matisse favored organic (curvy) shapes over geometric ones. They used cut paper to create their own collage inspired by Matisse.

Students also learned how to create a balanced artwork. Students had to ask themselves these questions to make sure their artwork was balanced:

  -Are there any spaces that look empty?
  -Did I use small and large shapes?
  -Did I use black shapes evenly?
