Mm Matisse

Today we talked about the fabulous Henri Matisse (1869-1954). We looked specifically at his piece entitled The Snail. This enormous piece was completed just before his death, and remains one of his most famous. It is made with cut and torn pieces of dyed paper that were adhered to the canvas.
We cut and tore our own paper and made our own little Snails. I LOVED so much the results that we got in this project.
