5th Grade Fall Projects Inspired by Grant Wood and Henri Matisse






American Gothic Partners

We studied artist Grant Wood and then discussed his American Gothic painting.  We thought of people and characters that could be partnered together to create our own painting.











Matisse Inspired Drawing with Scissors

We studied Henri Matisse.  We learned about his life and his art work.  We chose to create art work using his new art style of Cut-Paper.  We were impressed by the fact that Matisse created a way to continue creating art dispite his physical limitations in a wheel chair.
