I like that Alexandra made up her own artwork. This is "my" closet and I LOVE the Winnie the Pooh sweater she has hanging up - I really do have a Pooh sweater. :-)
I am not as creative and I did my own version of one of Matisse's pieces in "Jazz" - this one is called Icarus. After viewing Matisse's version of Icarus, we discussed the myth of Icarus & his father, Daedalus. Alex has a "Book of Virtues" video of this story, so we watched it also.
Then, we watched this incredible Lego version of the story. Now, I want to learn how to do some stop motion movies. If anyone has any tips or hints, please let me know!

Jennifer, from Toad Haven does quite a few of those with her kids. They turn out really cool.
GB and I have done a really rudimentary one. We just took a picture and barely moved GB's army men and then took another, and another, etc. Until we had a whole movie. It's fun, but time consuming.
That was so cool. Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait to get back into artist study! We've taken a break from all school as usual this summer, but this post has me itching to get out the scissors and Henri Matisse books!
Bookmarking for future reference. Matisse is on the list for next school year. :-)
Hi Dana!

What a fun way to experience Henri Matisse in a fun, hands-on way.
I hope that you don't mind that I have added a link to this page on www.squidoo.com/ancient-greek-activities .
