Third
Grade Henri Matisse Inspired Name Signs
Third
graders learned about the life and work of French artist, Henri Matisse
(1869-1954). Matisse is considered one
of the greatest Modern Artists, known for his use of rich, bright colors,
patterns, flattened abstract forms, and graceful lines. Much of his later work was paper cut collage
using boldly painted paper and organic shapes. He called this “Drawing with
Scissors.”
Third
graders created these beautiful name designs using only paper, scissors and
glue. They focused on adding curves and
swirls to create letters with an organic flair.
Each artist also included symbols that tell the viewer about the things
that are important to them. Look
carefully- What can you discover about each artist? Enjoy!
