Henri Matisse, an important French artist, loved all kinds of patterns. Not only the decorative forms he created, but also reproductions of tapestries, embroideries, silks and more. A recent donation of leftover wallpaper inspired this project.1. I first gave each student a 12" square of chip board for mounting. I passed a variety of wallpapers cut in 12" squares.
2. I asked the students to first choose one main wallpaper for their background and glue it to the chipboard with heavy use of a glue stick.
3. The next step was to choose a ground color and cut a horizon to glue over the background paper.
4. I showed the students how to draw a tree trunk on the back of the wallpaper to cut out and glue it over the ground and background. Tree tops were drawn on another piece of wallpaper to cut out and glue over the top of the trunks. Repeat this step in various sizes. Simplicity of all the shapes is encouraged.

I went right home last night and made one of these collages. It looks amazingly good to me. I can imagine doing one a day for quite a while. It is a good way to memorialize precious scraps that have found no other use so far.
Love this one!! I may just do this with the kids. Looks fun!
February issue of Family Fun magazine also had an idea for Matisse that I used with 5th graders called Pasted Spaces. Using chipboard and wallpaper or scrapbooking paper. Glue 2 contrasting pieces of patterned paper to the board, side by side. cut a floor shape, lining up the corner with where the walls meet. From magazines cut out pictures of windows, furniture, people, etc to decorate your room. This all follows Matisse's theroy of "painting with scissors" after he could no longer use paints.
His patterns are great for kids!
