Item Description
Title: The Contemporary Beach
Artist Inspiration: Henri Matisse, 1869-1954, French
Description: Henri Matisse is widely regarded as the greatest colorist of the Twentieth Century. He emerged as a Post-Impressionist artist and first achieved prominence as the leader of the French movement, Fauvism. Although interested in Cubism, he originally rejected it an instead sought to use color as the foundation for expressive, decorative, and often monumental painting. In Mrs. Baum’s class, we worked with triangular shaped pieces using a bleeding tissue paper technique. We sprayed the canvas with water and allowed the bleeding tissue paper to bleed onto our canvas, trying to portray a beach theme. The kids’ excitement overtook our original project theme. They got a little carried away patching our canvas with tissue paper, but the result was something magical. Instead of leaving the paper to dry, we allowed the colors to bleed and peeled the tissue paper off before it dried up. Our project outcome was unforeseen, but they were passionate about the process. It was amazing how their creativity and excitement overtook our original plan and the students became the instructor. Our art project would make a great addition to your home.
Dimensions: 26”x38”
