CUT IT OUT!

Gan Daled enjoyed learning about Henry Matisse.

Matisse was a great artist. He was born in France and grew up to be a lawyer. When he got sick his mother brought him paints and he decided that he wanted to be an artist.

Matisse liked to use bright colors. He was a Fauve (wild beast) painter. He used  different patterns and decorations to enhance his work. 

In his old age Matisse created a new art form, cut paper compositions We made our own Matisse masterpieces .

When Matisse was old and sick he painted with charcoal at the end of a long stick.

Gan Daled had the opportunity to empathize with Matisse by sitting and using a long stick with a marker at the end to make a picture.
