  2. The Dessert: Harmony in Red, 1908, Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia

  3. What do you see? What sorts of colors, shapes and textures does the artist use? Can you name some art techniques that are used?

  4. Red room Wall paper Chairs, wooden, cane seat Table, table cloth Woman Fruit & wine Cut flowers in vase Window Landscape Trees, bushes, flowers, building Colors- red, blue,green, yellow, white, black

  5. ELEMENTS OF ART/DESIGN • Color=red- jarring color blue, yellow, green, black, white • Line=straight-outline table, chairs / curvy- flower pattern • Shape=geometric / organic • Form= flattened • Space=crowded space, flattened plane • Texture=patterns

  7. What do you think Matisse is trying to communicate? Give your opinion based on the clues you have collected. What ideas, moods, emotions, and stories do you think the artwork communicates?

  8. How does the predominant redness make you feel?

  9. The color red usually makes one feel warmth because it is associated with the sun and fire. Red also has the ability to excite us emotionally. More energy is also reflected from warm colors than from the cooler ones. Can you name the warm colors?

  10. How would you feel about the painting if it was mostly green or overwhelmingly blue instead of red?

  11. This painting was hung on a dining room wall. What effect do you think the location had on the color choices? Would you want red in your dining room?

  12. Do these two works of art appear to be by the same artist? Why or why not?

  13. As Matisse grew older, he was unable to paint. He then began creating collages. This collage is one of Matisse’s last paper collages called Verve – Fleurs de Niege (Lively Snow Flowers)

  14. A collage is an artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.

  15. What do you see? Why would this be called “lively” and “snow flowers?” What color combinations do you see? Do these work in your opinion?

  16. What makes these works of art similar? What makes them different?
