Exploring the work of Matisse: We have learned that Henri Matisse was inspired by nature and other things he saw in his every day life. On Wednesday we focused on several of Matisse’s paintings of flowers, looking at and discussing our observations about the colors and styles of each painting. We compared and contrasted the paintings to each other, and also to a vase of real flowers we brought into the classroom. Our preschool artists then used watercolors to create their own masterpieces, painting the vase of flowers in the style of Henri Matisse. Check out these photos of the project inspiration and process, as well as a sneak-peak at a few finished samples. We can’t wait to display them at our showcase next Friday morning!
