This is from the smart about art book series. This book is in the form of a student written book report on artist Henri Matisse. It has great facts about the artist, connections that the students made with the artist, picture by the artist and imitations of the artist work by the student. These books are so fun yet informative. They can also inspire students to research about a famous artist, author, musician, etc. and write their own book about them.
Really liked this art book about Henri Matisse--told from a child's perspective. The renditions of his paintings are really dull though--get a good book of photos of his paintings to supplement this like: Henri Matisse (Artists in Their Time Series)
Delightful book about Matisse written as a child's report on the artist. Great illustrations.
This is a cute book about Matisse’s life’s work and a creative and fun way that kids could make similar artworks by cutting and layering paper. This book is more for elementary but it could be used as project in a secondary classroom.
