We will still be making collages but our collages will be about creating people in motion using black cut-outs like the artist, Henri Matisse. We'll create a background of colorful shapes and then cut out ovals to create human forms. I got this idea from one of my favorite blogs, Deep Space Sparkle. The difference between the example from Deep Space Sparkle is their forms have clothes, ours will just be the silhouette of the human. The human silhouettes will be the emphasis of our art. Emphasis means the main part of the piece of art, the focal point. I thought this project sounded fun and interesting, the kids will get to be creative with their compositions.
Today being the first day of school I didn't have any students so while sitting alone in my classroom, staring at my lessons, going over and over them, I realized I wanted to do something different with my 5th graders.
