• Matisse did the bulk of his painting in the early part of the 20th Century.
• Because of poor health as he aged, he was unable to continue painting and started creating art in a whole new style.
• He experimented with cutouts using bright colours and shapes.

Collage
• A collage is a form of art in which shapes are cut out and stuck to a background to create a picture.
• While Matisse’s paintings were fairly realistic, his collages became quite abstract.

Today’s Project
• Cut out square and rectangle shapes of different sizes and glue them onto a sheet of paper (overlapping is okay) to create a background.
• Cut out some irregular shapes (like people, objects, stars, trees, buildings etc.) and glue them onto your background.
• Cut out a number of smaller shapes that show motion, or attract your eye.
