Second Grade- Starry Night & Drawing With Scissors

Second grade has just finished up a Gadget Print project based on "Starry Night" by Vincent VanGogh & they're GORGEOUS! We are now moving onto learning about Henri Matisse and his style of painting called Drawing with Scissors. The students learned that when Matisse got old, he was unable to stand to paint any more so he began drawing with scissors. He would have assistants paint large pieces of paper for him & then he would cut out figures, designs, and freeform shapes to create his pictures. We are going to be studying figure drawing in correct proportion, drawing a figure & then use these things to create our own Drawing with Scissors. This is one of my favorite second grade projects so keep your eyes open for some pictures to be coming your way as we begin production after Easter break! **Starry Night gadget prints**

**Pictures of Drawing with Scissors coming soon!!**
