1st Grade - When Pigasso Met Mootise - Day 2

 
For the second day of Pigasso and Mootisse in the art room, the 1st graders learned about abstract art in a different way.  We watched the clip of Matisse clipping away at his colored paper and arranging free-form shapes in his artwork.  Students were challenged with something similar.  Supplies that were given:  black constuction paper 6x18 rectangle, multicolored squares 3.5x3.5 and scrap construction paper for cutting.  Instructions included choosing 4 background shapes, glueing them onto the black background.  Then students could choose what colors they wanted to cut shapes out of to glue onto their colored squares.  We talked about movement and space while cutting these out and arranging them as well as reviewed abstract art.  Pictures are coming shortly...while they are in process.
