Check out what the students in Mrs. VandenBush's classroom are doing in art! Some of th lesson ideas I come up with, but many of these ideas come from other wonderful art teachers!
Day 1:Students studied Matisse and what a collage is. I had a bunch of pre-cut squares/rectangles cut and they arranged and glued them on to a 12 X 18 colored paper of their choice.
Day 2: Learned about organic shapes and positive/negative space. Students created various organic shapes and glued on using positive and negative pieces.
Day 3: Compared Organic Shapes to Geometric shapes. Students cut smaller geometric shapes to add to their collage.
I told the kiddos the more you have on the better (you want the view to not know what color paper you started with)
so AMAZING!! I can't get my students to do that much work. I do this project with first grade and they burn out too fast I think. I will try your way next time:)
Please post the steps you took to create your fabulous Matisse pieces!
