Henri Matisse: THE CUT OUTS
During the last decade of his life Henri Matisse deployed two simple materials—white paper and gouache—to create works of wide-ranging color and complexity. An unorthodox implement, a pair of scissors, was the tool Matisse used to transform paint and paper into a world of plants, animals, figures, and shapes.
Div. 12 learned a little bit about his life and created their own masterpieces in the style of Matisse’s cut outs. You will find these displayed in the hallway outside of our classroom!
