More Drawing with Scissors

 

Thanks to Phyl from There's a Dragon in my Art Room for this great project! You can see her original post HERE. I had to try this project with my Pre-Primary and Grade 1 class after the Matisse inspired collages we have done recently. These photos show the students work in front of windows, which make them look a little like stained glass. I love that they were able to use both the positive and negative shapes that they cut from paper for these compositions.

Drawing With Scissors

A Rocket Going Into Space.

 These Matisse-inspired collages were created by a group of pre-primary and grade ones. We have been practicing 'drawing with scissors' like French artist Henri Matisse (1869 -1954) in his later life. Not sure why there are so many 'outer space' themed collages - I guess that's what they're all interested in right now.
