Art Docent Activity

Our Art Docents came in to teach us about Henri Matisse. We observed his painting, The Purple Robe. Then we used oil pastels and water color paint to create a vase using patterns, lines and color just like Matisse!

    I like these paintings! They are all so different, but they look good together in a row.

    These vases are so pretty; they don't need flowers. Great job, Miss Thurston's first graders!

    How fun to get to use oil pastels & water colors just like real artists! All the vases like they could go right back into Matisse's painting. Can't wait to see the next project!
