Matisse is my fav. artist!! I love the color & pattern in his work. So I used Matisse's painting..The Purple Robe as the inspiration for the 1st grade self-portraits. They had to draw their whole body & include 10 different patterns. Finishing was an issue, but over all they are amazing!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! You and I are in synch - I too am a life-long Matisse-aholic, and you have used one of my all-time favorite paintings for inspiration. The work you've shown us is gorgeous! Show us more when they are done, OK? First grade? Wow! What size are they?
ReplyDeleteThey are 9x12. I love all the color/pattern!!!!
