Henri Matisse

The last two Fridays, we studied the artist Henri Matisse. 
He loved pure, sparkling, bright spots of color and cut paper to create collages.
“Creole Dancer” is a famous collage by Matisse.  

When he created this in college, he used a background that is a colorful, irregular checkerboard.

He placed contrasting curved shapes on the checkerboard to symbolize the moving dancer.
 Inspired by his style, we made a "movement collage".
