Kids School Holiday Workshop: Cut Out Art - Inspired by the art of Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse, one of the undisputed masters of 20th century art, was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid original style. In his later life he became ill and turned to cut out art and collage instead of painting.

Inspired by this artist we will be looking at organic shapes and practicing our scissor skills to create a colourful collage artwork.
