Background of Henri Matisse • Henri Matisse Henri Matisse (31 December 1869 - 3 November 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship.(retrieved from:http://www.henrimatisse.org/biography.jsp 2014) • Due to an illness Henri Matisse was prevented from painting in 1948 • Starting producing artwork out of paper cut out called Papierdécoupé
Papierdécoupé • Paper cut outs • cutting or tearing shapes from paper which had been painted with gouache • Due to his illness he had to have someone place them on the sheet for him • Allowed him to draw in colour
The Snail • made in the HôtelRégina at Nice. • One of his last and largest pieces of work
The snail • succession of patches of color that curl around resembles the shell of a snail • “'The Snail' is an expression of Matisse's response to the colour and light of the Mediterranean scene - its sun, sky, sea and vegetation.” (Retrieved from: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/matisse-the-snail-t00540/text-illustrated-companion 2014) • Appears abstract but is not
Why?? • Named as a artist to look at in the PLOS for art grade 2. • Paper cut outs seem easy and fun for students to do. • Can create various images with this technique which will allow for personalization • Not a lot to prep
Lesson Plan • Grade level 2 (but can use it with any grade I think) • PLO: create an image using abstraction as an image • Materials: paper of various colors, scissors, glue, white paper, gouache
Cross curricular connections • Grade 2 math: students are learning about shapes- use simple shapes to create a picture from an image • Grade 2 Language Arts: Readers theatre- can use paper cut out technique to make their scenes for their fairy tales they are acting out • Grade 2 science: can develop a water landscape • Grade 2 HACE: can create the food rainbow, a healthy meal, physical activity, etc.
