Patterns, Props and Pets: Henri Matisse

A Painting of Matisse's Studio... By Matisse!

Henri Matisse was a French painter and collage artist who used bright colors, bold patterns and abstract shapes in his work.  He made landscapes and still life paintings, and sometimes painted portraits too!  He liked to surround himself with things that he found inspiring.  If you went in his studio, you would see collections of fabric, furniture and decorations from all over the world.  

Matisse painted this cat and goldfish with bright colors and black outlines!

He also has some pretty cool paintings of goldfish, cats and dogs.  His patterns, props and pets will be our inspiration  this week!

We will begin by going through this video activity about Matisse:
