Meet Matisse

Art Club practiced mixing their primary colors and made a color wheel. Using the six colors from their color wheel, they did their own version of Matisse's Madame, also called the "Green Line".

The eighth grade is also studying Matisse, but they studied his famous cutouts. They used primary colors, figures, and again positive/negative space!

Artist unknown...they did a great job, but they forgot the most important step, step #1= WRITE YOUR NAME

Positive/Negative Space, but only Positive People

8th graders studied negative and positive space by cutting out of the black paper and used the scraps as positive space for the negative image. NO SCRAPS on floor! If they have scraps, that means they did it wrong. A special thank you to Bobby who worked extra hard past few class periods. He did the bike one below.
