Product Description
Jump into the bold and bright world of Henri Matisse, one of history’s most playful artists. This is the first in a series of creative play kits for budding artists ages five and up. The kit includes a concertina foldout that guides readers through step-by-step activities, starting with a simple color-focused exercise and building up to a big collaborative project using found materials. The foldout also demonstrates how to create art with the four kiss-cut stencil sheets and three die-cut picture pockets.
Play with Matisse encourages collaboration and imagination. Many of the activities take inspiration from Matisse’s life—partner with your own artist’s assistant or learn how to grow a paper “garden” filled with bright blooms and fluttering butterflies. At the heart of author Alice Harman’s text is an important message for young creatives: never give up and always have fun! This is a craft kit with a difference.
