Matisse: Boats on the Riviera
If your students love to paint, these delightful projects are perfect for your art lesson library. I love using bold, bright tempera paint colors splashed on paper with big brushstrokes. These 2 art lessons, inspired by the artist Henri Matisse, are simple, successful and fun!
Project One – Boats of the Riviera and is inspired by the painting Les Voiliers. 1906
Project Two – creates large painted paper cut fish, which is displayed in an underwater habitat. Both lessons provide a collaboration between organic shapes, elements of art, composition and color along with art history.
