亨利·马蒂斯
1869年12月31日－1954年11月5日

我以播放视频《探访马蒂斯》开启本次马蒂斯主题单元，并共读绘本《用剪刀作画》。我还自主阅读了《马蒂斯从A到Z》一书。不知为何，我彻底迷上了马蒂斯。于是，我决定今年尝试开展三项受这位艺术家启发的课程。

第一项是……

画中画

野兽之窗

马蒂斯总将户外景致引入室内。他喜欢在室内工作，却始终凝望窗外。他就像鱼缸里的金鱼——一位永远向外张望、却免受风雨侵扰的旁观者。

因此，他通过敞开所有窗户，把光线引入作品。身为“野兽派”（法语Fauve，英文直译为Wild Beast）画家，他向来钟爱那些“歌唱般响亮”的色彩。

那么，我们也将创作一扇窗，把户外世界带入我们内心。

让我们采用马蒂斯惯用的狂野色彩吧——它们无需合乎常理。

树木可以是粉紫色，天空可以是绿色！越离奇越好。

像一头野兽那样挑选色彩吧！马蒂斯定会为之欣喜……

西顿老师的窗

1. 让学生在纸上用对角线画一个“X”，使“X”的四个端点分别抵达纸张四角。“X”的中心即为消失点。请告知学生：该消失点始终位于他们后续将绘制的风景画的地平线上。

2. 通过绘制一个矩形来表现窗框开口。矩形的四个角必须与“X”的线条精准相交；每个窗角均需落在“X”的线上。（使用直尺）

3. 在窗下绘制窗台，用于摆放物品。这些物品可体现艺术家的个性，具有个人意义。马蒂斯常在桌面上放置金鱼、植物或鲜花。我则放上了每日灵修读物、祈祷披肩、柴茶和我的猫。

学生可在窗台上放置足球、最喜爱的书籍，或手机等物品。

4. 设计带有图案的窗帘（马蒂斯酷爱狂野印花），或利用消失点来绘制百叶窗，或在天花板上绘制线条。

*本环节将按完成质量计分或给予加分（视年级水平而定）。

5. 绘制自选风景。马蒂斯常描绘阳光明媚、炎热的海滨风光（他最钟爱的主题）。

我画的是自然保护区的一条徒步小径。

学生可绘制自己最喜爱的度假地、自家前院，或城市中心街道。

尽情画吧！发挥创意……

马蒂斯认为，艺术并非旨在模仿照片。因此，请勿拘泥于写实自然，而应描绘你脑海中的想象世界。

6. 现在，大胆上色吧！去挑选你能找到的最鲜亮的色彩！找出那些“歌声最嘹亮”的蜡笔、记号笔和彩铅，并用它们来完成你的画作。

这些是早先完成的绘画范例。完成后，我们将它们悬挂在走廊储物柜上方，为观者打开一扇通往我们艺术想象力的窗口……

剪纸

当马蒂斯年迈体衰、只能坐轮椅或卧床休养时，他开创了剪纸艺术。他已无法长时间站立，也难以继续年轻时所从事的常规艺术创作。尽管身体疲惫不堪，他的想象力与创造精神却势不可挡！他绝不会放弃。有时，人生最艰难的时刻，恰恰成就艺术最璀璨的巅峰。艺术是灵魂的良药！当身体日渐衰微，它仍能守护你的心跳鲜活……于是，他拿起剪刀，从涂绘过的纸张上剪下有机形态与几何形状，并和谐地加以组合。他将此称为“用剪刀作画”。

他的居所一片凌乱，到处散落着五彩纸屑。

西顿老师的范例

这是我长女梅茜尚幼时创作的剪纸作品。

它展现了初为人母的喜悦，以及女儿成长带来的欢欣。

这是我于2008年参加一次基督教静修营、经历灵性转变后创作的剪纸作品。

这两幅剪纸创作于2009至2011年间

HeNRI MATISSE
December 31, 1869- November 5, 1954

I began this unit on Matisse by showing the video "Dropping in on Matisse", then reading the book "Drawing with Scissors". I read on more on my own the book "Matisse from A to Z". I am totally hooked on Matisse for some reason. So, I decided to try three lesson inspired by the artist this year.

The first one is...

PICTURE IN A PICTURE

(worksheet below created by Tabitha Seaton)

(This is a new lesson I will be doing soon, examples coming soon...)

Kimberley R. 7th grade

Angel S. 8th grade

Autumn B. 8th grade

Rosie, 7th grade

WILD BEAST WINDOWS

Matisse was always bringing the outside in. He loved to work indoors, but look outside. He was like a goldfish in a bowl, a spectator always looking out but being protected from the elements.

So, he brought the light into his work by opening up all the windows. He always enjoyed using colors that "sing" since he was a Fauve (Wild Beast in English).

So, we are going to create a window that brings the outside into us.

Lets use the same wild colors that Matisse uses. They don't have to make sense.

Trees can be pink and purple, the sky can be green! The crazier the better.

Choose colors like a wild beast! Matisse would love it...

Mrs. Seaton's Windows

1. Have the kids make an "X" on their paper with the corners of the "X" meeting the corners of the paper. The center of the "X" becomes the Vanishing Point. Let them know that the vanishing point is always on the horizon line of the landscape that they will create later.

2. Make an opening for the window by creating a rectangle. All corners of the rectangle must match up with the lines of the "X". Each corner of the window will rest on the "X". (use a ruler)

3. Create a sill under the window to put objects on. These objects can be something important to the artist to share with us their personality. Matisse usually put goldfish, plants, or flowers on his tables. I put my daily devotional book, my prayer shawl, my Chai Tea and my cat.

Kids can put a football, their favorite book, or their phone in the sill.

4. Make a patterned curtain (Matisse loved wild prints) or use the vanishing point

to create shutters or lines on the ceiling.

*I will count points for this or bonus (depending on level of grade).

5. Draw a landscape of choice. Matisse usually showed a sunny, hot place by the sea (his favorite).

I drew a hiking path at the Nature Preserve.

Students can draw their favorite vacation spot, their front yard, or downtown city streets.

Draw Draw Draw, be creative...

Matisse thought that art was not meant to look like a photograph. So, don't mimic realistic nature, draw what is in your imagination.

6. Now color crazy! Go pick the brightest colors you can find! Find the crayons, markers, and colored pencils that sing the loudest and use those for your picture.

Mrs. Seaton's Student's Windows

These are older examples that we painted. After we were done we hung them in the halls above the lockers to give a view into our artistic imaginations...

PAPER CUT OUTS

Matisse created the idea of paper cut outs when he was old and restricted to a wheelchair or in his bed. He was unable to stand for long periods of time and do all the usual art from his younger days. Although his body was tired, his imagination and creative spirit was UNSTOPPABLE! He was not going to quit. Sometimes it is out hardest time that makes our art it's finest. Art is medicine to the soul! It keeps your heart alive when your body is dying... So, he got scissors and cut organic and geometric shapes from painted paper and arranged them harmoniously. He called this "drawing with scissors".

His place was a mess, filled with scraps of painted paper everywhere.

Mrs. Seaton's Examples

I did this paper cut out when my first daughter Maisy was very small.

It shows the joy of a new mother as her girls grows.

I did this paper cut out after I had gone through a spiritual transformation

to a Christian retreat in 2008.

I made these 2 above between 2009&2011
