Hi kids! Ready for a story?

Do you know Picasso? And Matisse?

Read and listen. Then, if you like art, choose one of the two artists and copy their style by following the instrucions. Then take a picture of your piece of art and send it to library@colegionewlands.com.ar

HENRI MATISSE: Drawing with scissors – Matisse style!

  1. Cut out simple geometric shapes using different colored paper (squares, rectangles, triangles). You will need to have enough cut outs to cover a sheet of paper.
  2. Glue the shapes on the art paper, overlapping and leaving gaps. Cut out more intricate shapes on the colored paper, such as hearts, lightening bolts, letters, etc.
  3. Glue these shapes on top of the layer of geometric shapes.

PICASSO PORTRAITS: Create a self-portrait Picasso style!

  1. Draw a large oval in the center of the art paper. Divide the oval in half using a zig-zag or squiggly line.
  2. Draw three or more eyes, two noses, and two mouths. These can be drawn anywhere on the “face.”
  3. Using shapes (triangles, rectangles, squares, etc), add ears and hair. There can be more than two ears and they may be located anywhere along the side of the “face.”
  4. Draw a triangle below the face for the neck and shoulders. Add a pattern of geometric shapes inside the large triangle neck. Geometric shapes can be added to the background if desired.
  5. Trace the drawing with a black marker.
  6. Color the portrait using bold colors. If using crayons, press hard so the colors will be bright.
