This week, the students learned about the artist Henri Matisse and explored two of his famous works—”Icarus” and “The Snail.”
They learned that Matisse was a French artist who used bold colours and shapes. When he became too ill to paint, he started making art by cutting shapes from paper—a technique called cut-outs.
Students used scissors and glue to create their own art inspired by Matisse.
They cut out bold shapes to make figures like Icarus flying in the sky or colourful snails using squares and curves. Through this fun activity, they practiced creativity, shape recognition, and composition—just like Matisse did!
