Matisse's Colorful Rooms

Matisse= Patterns and Bright and Bold Colors.

After looking at some colorful rooms by Matisse (we saw some of his rooms up close and personal at the museum :-)) we made our own using paint and oil pastel. You can see, I also showed them one of favorite Matisse's, The goldfish!

Artwork by William, I always love William's artwork when he actually completes a piece. Imagine if he tried everytime!

Shape Quake

6th and 7th graders were given a piece of black paper, scissors, and glue. They were asked to cut any shapes out of the paper and shift them around, but use all scraps. Most people followed directions but I did find a few scrap pieces of black paper after they left! Here is artwork from students who used the whole paper:
