Sunday November 13th, Multi-Medium Art Workshop: 10:15 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Painted Cut Outs with Decoupage. Henri Matisse was a French painter who became very famous for using extraordinarily bold colors. Later in life, as his health began to fail, Matisse turned to making collages. His last, and most important works were a collection of mixed-media collages. Matisse arranged boldly colored paper cutouts into striking compositions, and added text in his own handwriting to produce a book that has been referred to as “the visual counterpart of jazz music”.

In this class, children will replicate Matisse’s method of making his famous collages by assembling compositions with hand-painted paper.

And not to be left out — we’ve got a Drama Games/Music Theatre Workshop at 12:30 p.m. See details for the class by clicking the link below.
