Paint with scissors like Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was a French artist. At the end of his career, he was very sick and had to stay in bed for a long time. His restricted movement made it too difficult for him to paint, he began “drawing with scissors”.

I picked 2 cutout pictures as inspiration:

”The sadness of the king”

“La Gerbe”

Material required:

• Colored construction paper

• Scissor

• A larger piece of paper

• Glue stick

Ask your child to cut shapes from the construction paper and to glue them on the larger paper (any shapes work).

This is a good book to learn more about Henri Matisse:
