Each lesson includes an art concept, introductory book, focus on an artist, and a variety of art techniques to make each lesson engaging &amp; memorable. Use these fun lessons with your classroom, homeschool, after-school program, or co-op!<\/p>\n<h2>Henri Matisse&#8217;s Paper Cut-out Collages<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>To introduce the concept of Matisse&#8217;s painting with scissors and collages, read Matisse&#8217;s Garden by Samantha Friedman.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>You will need:<\/strong> Matisse&#8217;s Garden by Samantha Friedman or other children&#8217;s book about Matisse and his paper collages<\/p>\n<p><a><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jazz by Henri Matisse\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/archived\/5ead7e4e086ed379aa2f785f28071ac5.jpg\" style=\"max-height: 500px; width: auto;\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jazz by Henri Matisse<\/p>\n<h2>Guessing Game on Henri Matisse<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Flip through about a dozen of Matisse&#8217;s paper cut-out collages and have students guess what each collage is titled.
