Spiral Snails!

Our preschoolers looked at lots of different artwork by Henri Matisse.

They learned that he painted with bright colors early in his career. When Matisse got older and had difficulty holding a paintbrush, they saw that he started creating artwork by drawing with scissors!

Using brightly colored paper strips, the students got to practice their own cutting skills. The students then used the colorful square shapes and a spiral line of glue to create their own version of The Snail.
