I can...

Create a Matisse Style Portrait using drawing techniques learned in class
Use color combinations (complimentary, analogous, primary), shape variation (organic, geometric, biomorphic), and line types (outline, contour, thickness) inspired by Henri Matisse
Use drawing techniques (facial features, face proportions) and design principles (harmony, balance, variation) based on the Fauvism Movement
Define Portrait (a picture depicting the face, head, and shoulder)

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. Woman With A Hat (1905) Henri Matisse

3. Discussion Questions "Do you have a personal style? Do you have certain things that you like to wear? What type of music do you like to listen too? What are some things that make you unique? What do you know about the famous and unique artist Henri Matisse? What do you think Matisse likes best in his pictures?"

Lesson Activities
