This week in art class, the children continued exploring the world of Henri Matisse and his joyful cut-out artwork. We learned that Matisse, later in his life, created beautiful pieces using only scissors, paper, and bold colours.
The children looked at some of Matisse’s most inspiring works, like Blue Nude and Circus, and discussed how he used simple shapes and vibrant colours to express movement, emotion, and energy.
Each student then chose their favourite Matisse piece and used it as inspiration to create their own unique cut-out artwork. They carefully cut out organic shapes, arranged them thoughtfully, and glued them onto large paper, just like Matisse did.
It was wonderful to see how every student brought their personality into the work—some made leaf-like patterns, others created dancing figures or abstract designs.
