Matisse Collage

Second Grade students looked at artwork by Henri Matisse who was known for his cut paper collages. Students learned that Matisse started out as a painter, but later created cut paper collages because he was sick and had to stay in bed.
Students also learned to create balance in their artwork, to make it more interesting to look at. They asked themselves these questions:

  -Are there any spaces that look empty?
  -Did I use small and large shapes?
  -Do some of my shapes overlap?

  -Did I use black shapes evenly?
