This will have a work-shop style class wherein students will get an opportunity to create their own two art pieces inspired by the style of Henri Matisse.  We will spend sometime of the class looking at and interpreting some of the artists paintings and also learn about his life and artistic influences.  The images shown in class will be age-appropriate.  We will then focus on Fauvism and Cutouts, two techniques used by Matisse.  

This class is an interactive class, but I let my students open up as and when they feel comfortable to do so.  I see my role as a facilitator in their creative processes and allows them space to showcase their own unique views.  No prior art experience is required, but a curious mind is a must!
