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!

Our Great Waves

6th graders have been studying different types of wavy and curved lines. Also with it being hurricane season, we re-created "The Great Wave", one of the most recognizable works of art from Japan. They also recently practiced drawing trees using spiral lines, so some students chose to have trees growing in their water. As always I was impressed with the variety of styles.

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Hokusai.

"The Great Wave" is seen often in pop culture (popular culture like t-shirts, advertising, etc) and reproduced in other type of artwork such as the sculptures below.

Below are examples of "The Great Wave" as seen in pop culture that I found online.
