Henri Matisse


 

We started by learning different watercolor techniques. After we practiced and figured out which techniques we were going to use on our paintings we got watercolor paper. We drew our picture before we painted. This included a table, flower vase, walls and floor. We then painted each section using the different techniques we learned.


Extension: Students will use what they have learned about watercolor to create a piece celebrating Henri Matisse. Students will create a vibrant Matisse Inspired Shape Garden by combining painting and collage techniques. First, they will paint sheets of paper using bold, bright colors, focusing on expressive brushstrokes rather than specific shapes. Once the painted paper dries, students will cut out a variety of organic shapes like leaves, flowers, and vines, mimicking the abstract style of Henri Matisse’s famous cutouts. They will then arrange and glue their shapes onto a large background paper to form a colorful garden scene. This activity allows students to explore color, shape, and composition while connecting with Matisse’s playful and imaginative art style.
