Students examined the still life paintings of artist Henri Matisse, looking at the unique patterns and colors he used. We also discussed the bold outlines that made the objects he painted stand out. Students created a coffee or tea cup in oil pastel, sitting on a table with a wallpaper patterned background. They then painted over their pastel lines, filling in the spaces around due to the wax resist technique which allows the lines to still be seen through the paint.
