September 5th-September 9th

Icarus from Jazz, by Henri Matisse. 1947.

7th Grade Art

The 7th graders will continue to work on their "Namely Matisse" collage projects until the end of the week. The students have created unique letters to represent their names and are working on symbols that reflect their personal interests and personality traits. They are only allowed to use scissors to create their collage pieces...no pencil allowed! This has proven to be a challenge, however, these creative and ambitious artists are not giving up. Some of the initial results are amazing! Henri Matisse would be impressed with their efforts.
