3rd Grade students learned about the French artist, Henri Matisse. Students learned about the Art Movement, Fauvism. This term comes from the French word "Les Fauvs" which means "Wild Animals". Matisse and other artists in this movement created art which used wild and unexpected colors. This was unheard of at this time period (early 1900's). Matisse also loved to use pattern and complementary colors. His artwork was pleasing to the eye and loved by many. Students used his famous painting, "Women in Purple Robe with Anemones" as inspiration for their still life image. Students learned the difference between acrylic and watercolor paints, using a variety of materials to create a work of art, and how to use complementary colors within their artwork.
