2nd Grade Matisse Collage

The 2^nd Grade students learned about the life and artwork of Henri Matisse.  Students learned that Matisse loved to use his scissors to make various shapes overlapping to create a collage.  He rarely threw any scraps away.  Students learned the difference between positive and negative space.  Students also learned the difference between geometric and organic shapes.  The students created a collage with many overlapping geometric and organic shapes using the positive and negative images just like Henri Matisse did!
