If your students love to paint, these delightful mixed media projects are perfect for your art lesson library. I love using bold, bright colors of tempera paint splashed on paper. These 3 art lessons, inspired by the artist Henri Matisse, are simple, successful and fun. Project 1 - Room with Patterns is inspired by Matisse's beautiful paintings of interior rooms containing patterned walls, tables containing bowls of fruit and vases with flowers. Project 2 - Plate of Apples focuses on the beauty of a plate of apples. Totally adorable and a successful project for all. Project 3 - Still Life Vase with Flowers and Fruit is a pattern on pattern project. This project is an explosion of color. Students create a vase containing flowers with a cluster of fruit nearby. These projects cover grades 1-5, but anyone will love creating these masterpieces. These lessons provide a collaboration between organic and geometric shapes, elements of art, various media, composition and color along with art history.
