Students cut geometric and organic shapes and arranged them in really neat compositions. We also practiced techniques such as pleating, fringe, spirals, etc. They look great!
We practiced so many fun ways to play with paper! We read a great book about Henri Matisse called "Henri's Scissors". This is a great story to promote inclusion and perseverance in the art room. As Matisse became ill and was no longer able to make art as he once did, he found ways around his disabilities to continue creating. His assistants painted large pieces of paper and he was able to "draw with scissors" as he lay in bed.
