5th Grade

 

The 5th Grade students learned about the artist

Henri Matisse.  As he grew older, he cut

And pasted his work rather than painting.

The students discovered that cutting shapes first

Without a composition in mind was easy. 

It was the making of the story that seemed

Challenging.  Fifth grade was up to the

Challenge, though, and came through with

No problems.  Matisse would have

Been proud.

Weavings

 

Here the students demonstrate the results

of sometimes painstaking patience

that it took to weave each line of color

on their cardboard looms.
