A collage art lesson inspired by Henri Matisse. "Students will learn about the life and art of Henri Matisse, and create a cut out collage inspired by his work.Drawing With Scissors is an interesting and creatively written story of the life of one of the art world’s greatest masters, Henri Matisse, and his wonderful artistic contribution that had made our culture rich.
Inspired by the paper collages created by Henri Matisse, this lesson transforms the realistic image of a leaf through the use of color and shape. Complementary colors, Geometric Shape, and Organic Shape are the art terms that will be taught and implemented during the production of this collage project. Information about Matisse, the art of paper Collage, and Fauvism will be introduced to the students through two separate articles. This lesson is a simple collage lesson that will produce beautiful results which will be perfect for autumn. A detailed lesson plan is included which outlines National Core Visual Arts Standards, Lesson Objectives, Vocabulary with definitions, a Material List, as well as a detailed Teaching Procedure for each instructional day. The PDF slides are quite inclusive and detail vocabulary, definitions, instructions, and clear photos that show the progression of the lesson step-by-step. A Project Reflection handout has been included to allow the students the opportunity to review their artistic experience as well as facts pertaining to Matisse and art vocabulary. Preparing for this lesson will take very little time. Print enough copies of the student handouts and organize the art supplies needed for each day. (The material list includes basic art supplies such as construction paper, pencils, erasers, glue, and scissors.) Project the PDF presentation during class time and guide the students through each step of the lesson. An arrangement of the student's completed complementary color leaf collages certainly will make for a colorful fall bulletin board display. NOTE: This PDF presentation is non-editable
An interactive worksheet designed to captivate students in crafting artwork inspired by Matisse. Through exploration of organic shapes and collage composition, students will delve into creating a piece of art they can truly take pride in. Included: Information Sheet Activity Page and Instructions

Earlier last week, fellow Rockin' Arts Mom Kristen from Art History Mom shared a really neat way to introduce young children to the artwork of Henri Matisse. I was so intrigued by her post that I did a shortened version of her lesson with my 2 1/2 year old son. Wow. I was so pleasantly surprised at how Chuck responded. He loved looking at the artwork, counting the figures, and finding different colors and shapes. Since Matisse's collages are so colorful and graphic looking, we then tried making our own Matisse inspired artwork at home. Kids Make Matisse Inspired Collages (This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support.) Aren't they beautiful? Now little did I know, Kristen (from Art History Mom) also had a similar idea in mind. She ended up making these lovely Playdough and Construction Paper Collages with her son. I think that using play dough to make collages is such a cool idea, so definitely check out her activity too! Materials Needed to Make Matisse Inspired Collages Construction Paper Scissors (Adult and Kid-friendly scissors) Glue (Glue Sticks and Elmer's Glue) Let's Make Matisse Inspired Collages! 1. I first did Art History Mom's Henri Matisse Lesson with Chuck. Then, we looked at some of Matisse's other collages online. (Note: If you're a book lover, you could also read one of these Matisse books for Kids.) 2. Then, I explained that we were going to make our own collages just like Matisse. So, we pulled out some construction paper and cut out shapes. I cut out the more complicated ones to resemble some of the shapes found in Matisse's artwork. 3. Then we glued our shapes on. (Chuck said this collage was supposed to be a bumble bee. Can you see the resemblance?) Once our artwork dried, we had some lovely Matisse-inspired artwork of our own. I enjoyed this activity because we got to talk about art, math (counting, shapes, and spatial relations), and colors. Chuck seemed to enjoy the activity because he got to use scissors (which always ups the coolness factor of any project) and glue (which he enjoyed wiping everywhere.) Let me know if you try this activity out with your kids! I think they'll have fun (and learn some things too.) (Side note: I learned about Matisse's personal history too... it was super inspiring.)

This week, 3rd grade started their Henri Rousseau & Cassie Stephens inspired tigers! Here's Mr. Rousseau's painting we're getting inspiration from! Tiger in a Tropical Storm Here's how we created ours! My first two 3rd grade classes painted a couple of sheets of orange painted paper, and then the rest of the classes were able to draw their tigers, and make some green painted paper for the rest of the project! We're going to be making a collage on blue or black paper, by creating these tigers on the orange paper, and leaves on the green paper. We'll also add a tail, so it looks like the tiger is peeking out of the leaves! Can't wait to see the finished results! Here they are painting paper! I love all the different types of texture they added! Mrs. Stephens has a great video on youtube, showing you exactly how to draw the tiger, and she talks about the elements of art used in this project! Here's the link Cassie Stephen's How to draw a tiger Mrs. Fambrough's class is doing a fabulous job!! Stay tuned for some awesome art!

Today I worked with lines and scribbles, inspired by a few of my students who were in the 100 Drawings class. My goal was just to see what I can do with crayons, oil pastels, and other line-making tools, on their own, without point. I did venture into paint, though, as you'll see in the video, but the focus is on drawing media. These are not meant to be "pieces", or even studies. They are just byproducts of my playing around. Which is how I like to think of all my work. Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon This one started on a piece of "scrap" paper, one I'd used to lift paint. So it has a ground of acrylic paint. I scratched through the oil pastel with a razor into the dark green at bottom right. This one is soft pastel (the really dusty kind), conte crayon (the black), a few oil pastels, and Crayola crayons. Maybe some graphite in there too. Graphite of various sorts, oil pastels, water soluble crayon Graphie, ink, Crayola crayon, and water soluble crayon Soft pastel, graphite crayon, Crayola crayon, ink, water soluble crayon Various oil pastels and crayons, acrylic paint Various crayons and oil pastels, graphite, ink, and acrylic paint This one started on a piece of "scrap" paper on which I had off-loaded excess paint. On top of the paint is graphite, oil pastel, and various crayons. Also done on top of paint off-loads: mostly oil pastel, acrylic paint. The crayons and oil pastels I reference in the video are: Crayola Crayons, which you can get anywhere, so a link is unnecessary. Cheap Oil Pastels: I used ProArt, but Cray Pas are comparable; Van Gogh are good inexpensive oil pastels. Sennelier Oil Pastels: these are buttery and pigment-rich. Holbein Oil Pastels: I love these; they are a bit harder than the Sennelier, and just as smooth and pigment-rich. They come in a H U G E range of colors, with tints and shades of many colors as well. These are a bit larger than Sennelier, and comparably more expensive per piece. Caran d'Ache Neopastel: yummy, not as soft as Sennelier, good pigment load. These are a little smaller than the Sennelier, and very slightly cheaper. Probably the same price per unit of weight or volume. Caran d'Ache Neocolor II: these are the water soluble crayons I use all the time. In some of the above pieces I've used graphite crayon, graphite pencils, and pitt pens as well. Fun FUN!!

Hey, guys! I'm excited to share with y'all the finished product of many an art class: Second Grade's Landscape Collages! Here's some things we learned along the way (with more detail in a hot minute): * How to create textured papers. I borrowed heavily from my buddy Laura's blog Painted Paper because Laura is my art teacher super hero. Suriously. Her students work is amazin'. * How to create a landscape with a fore-, middle- and background. * How to create an origami house. Some kids got really into this, creating multiple houses for their landscape. * How to embellish with puffy paint...selectively. Oh, lawd, y'all. You've heard of the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, right? Well, If You Give a Second Grader Puffy Paint was not about to be the sequel in my art room. I was the Puffy Paint Nazi. One false move and it was NO PUFFY PAINT FOR YOU! * How to create a whip-stitched boarder. So I thought this would be totes elementary for these guys. Turns out kids don't know how to sew anymore and this was ROCKET SCIENCE. Note to self: Have more stitched projects...for the sub to do (haha, I kid. Kinda.) Now that you know the gist, lemme back up a lil bit and give you the full story. The lessons started with an intro to Mexico and Latin America. You can find my prezi (remember my prezi addiction?) here. After that prezi and a quick chat, we spent our first 30 minutes (my first and second grade have 30 minutes of art, twice every six days) creating textured paper with a sponge and tan paint. We chatted about the texture of the Andes mountains in Chile and used that as our inspiration. The following 30 minutes were spent learning more painting techniques. We learned how to use cardboard to print flowers or plants, use a texture comb to create textured papers (see the sun below) and how to create a plaid pattern with a dry brush technique. Yes, all that in 30. Sometimes I question my sanity. The following class, we chatted about arpilleras. You can see my prezi on those lovelies here. After that, we began tearing our textured papers and gluing them to a 12" X 12" construction paper background of our choosing. The key to doing this without having gaps in the landscape is to have the kids begin with the background piece and proceed gluing pieces toward the foreground. The next art class, I had the kids immediately grab a piece of origami paper as they entered and meet me on the floor for a origami house demo on the document camera. Before I had a doc camera, I would have simply done an origami demo on a GIANT sheet of paper so they could see all of the steps. With the cam, we all worked together. If time allowed, the kids created more houses or used thin Sharpies to decorate their homes. Initials were written on the back and these wee ones were saved for the following art class. The next day, I told the kids that they had four goals to reach BEFORE they entered Puffy Paint Town: glue houses to landscape keeping perspective in mind (or not), add clouds/stars/whateverness to the sky, create a sun or moon and add their name at the bottom. If all of these goals were met, they could begin to add puffy paint in dots only on their land. I actually have a couple of these beauties that I've found at the thrift store over the years. I love having the real thing to share with the kids instead of just a photo from the 'net. Many of the kids didn't reach their goals all in 30 minutes so they needed an extra day to puffy paint. The deal with puffy paint is that it has this habit of sneezing all over art work. So I had the kids use a piece of practice paper to practice dot making before doing it on their masterpiece. The deal with kids is that they get carried away on their practice paper (really? You needed to fill the whole paper with dots? Because now the bottle is empty, dude.) so I started to limit them to 3 practice dots. Next up was the stitching. Oh boy. I did go ahead and hole punch the sides of their artwork for them prior to art class. Hate me if you wanna but I just didn't want to spend an additional 30 minutes watching the kids struggle and possibly tear their work as they punched through (sometimes) 3 pieces of construction paper. Added bonus: I now have super big muscles in the right hand. Just what I've always wanted! Once the stitching was complete, so was the masterpiece! I absolutely love how these beauties turned out and the kids are just as thrilled. I decided to hang them in the hall by paper clipping them together because it's my new fave way to display. Speaking of faves, collage landscapes are also my favorite means of teaching about landscapes. For more lessons, you can check out these Collaged Parisian Pictures, Egyptian Landscape Pieces, and these Tube Castle Landscapes. What's your fave landscape lesson? I needs to know! Until next time, y'all, use that puffy paint the way your art teacher done showed ya!

The more I look at Matisse's artwork, the more it really speaks to me. I love his vibrant colors and the way his artwork expresses such movement. Around this time last year, Chuck and I made Matisse Collages from construction paper. We had such fun making them together... that I thought we could take it to the next level... wall murals! Making Matisse Murals with Kids This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support! Yup. We made ourselves Matisse mural. The idea was inspired by this gorgeous kate zaremba wallpaper. (Love, love, loooove!) Here's how we did it! First, Chuck and I grabbed a bunch of paint chips and got cutting. (Two things I've learned recently... 1) Preschoolers LOVE scissors. So Chuck's totally on board anytime cutting is involved. 2) Paint chips are like construction paper... on steroids. They're seriously one of my favorite crafting materials. They come in fabulous, modern colors and they're free! Woot woot! That's why I used them to make a Christmas tree advent calendar and paint chip wall art.) Then, I taped a large piece of white craft paper onto the wall. Then we pulled out our trusty glue sticks, cutout shapes, and circle stickers and began making art! The circle stickers by far were his favorite to stick onto the wall. And we just kept going and going and going! I thought it would be fun to glue on super large googly eyes. While we got gluing, Chuck realized that he could also glue on glue sticks. While they didn't stay stuck for long, he enjoyed the diversion. And then we used washable markers to add finishing touches. (Side note: Thank goodness washable markers really are washable. I left him for just a moment and when I got back there was marker all over the wall too.) I loved how the results turned out, but the best part about this project for me was hearing Chuck say "Look mommy, I'm an artist." Yes you are, Chuck. Yes you are.

Our first project this year has been a very progressive, multi step, multi media project that has really evolved as we created! Our first project when we got back from hurricane Harvery was to release some stress with scribbling to music.... Students spread out on the floor and scribbled to the sound of fast and slow music by “The Piano Guys” they love these songs because they recognize them from the radio but it’s all instrumental. The students were instructed to use large arm motions that cross over the body. Any motion that crosses from the right side of the body to the left or vise versa uses both hemispheres of the brain since each side controls one side of the body. It is very relaxing and the kids LOVED it!!!!!! The next class kids painted over thier scribbles with water colors, tempera paint, and India ink. They explored the way different paint resists or does not resist the crayon. You can follow me on instagram for more photos "Natty241" And my facebook page "Mrs. Waggenspack's Art Room" They were allowed to use their hands at the end. We try to use all 5 senses for a while brain experience. We talked about abstract art, Kinetic art, And the experience of art. It is a process and not just a product that we create in art. After each experience we gathered on the floor and talked about how they felt in one word. Students said, “Free, alive, happy, exhilarating, dancing, creative, like a real artist, quiet, excited, open,angry, peaceful,etc” When the paintings were finished the students tore them up into strips! They were so upset at first. When they saw the next step they were so excited. The students glued the strips on a late paper for the collage. This took three 50 minute classes. Then students traced the eyes and nose of the animal they wanted and outlines the eyes, nose, and beaks with India ink. ( pictures at the bottom of blog) this is the resin I use. I paint it on with a brush. This resin must be mixed one to one ratio and it is toxic so you must wear a mask. Do NOT let the children use it. You have to do it for them if you want the ultra shiney eyes effect! Wear a mask and use gloves! You can sprinkle glitter in it too for extra FUN!!! Then they glued the eyes and nose on the collage. The next step was to embellish the face and add details. We used India ink and fan brushes to make fur and feathers. When the entire face was finished I added resin to the eyes to make them shine These are how the eyes and noses look before they cut them out. We used the fan brush for making fur. These are the travers they could use for eyes, noses and beaks
