• What Are The Projects?
• Matisse Facts
• How It Works

• 1. Project 1: Colossal "Lucky the Goldfish"Wow! Learn how to sculpt, knead and build your very own Ditto oven-bake clay Goldfish. And the best part... we use glow in the dark clay! Approx. 8 inches x 4 inches. 1 class, 2 hours
  2. Project 2: Matisse Goldfish Painting inspired by everyone's favourite studio fish—Lucky!  Matisse's colours and his invention of the "Fauve" style of painting. (14"x14" acrylic on stretched canvas) Learn why Matisse and his friends were called "Fauvist" painters which means wild cats or wild beasts of colour en français! Fauve painters expressed themselves with bold, undisguised brushstrokes and vibrant colours. 1 class, 2 hours. 
  3. Project 3: Paper Cut-outs Triptychinspired by Matisse's invention of painting with scissors. Later in his career, when Matisse was finally too weak to stand at an easel, he began creating his papercuts, carving in coloured paper, scissoring out shapes, and collaging them into sometimes vast pictures.  Only Matisse understood how elements worked together, how colours and shapes could come to life when set in context.  Create a 3-canvas panel tryptic using classic Matisse shapes and colours and top them off with some spring bugs! 1 class, 1 hour.
• Here are 4 fun 4Cats Facts about Matisse:
  
  
  1. Matisse was fascinated with goldfish, and created many famous paintings of his wonderful vermillion goldfish! Matisse is the reason we have our fish "Lucky" in our studios! 
  2. Matisse was friends and rivals with Pablo Picasso. They constantly influenced and challenged each other.
  3. Though famous for painting, Matisse also experimented with sculpture and cut-out artwork. He called this painting with scissors!
  4. Because of Matisse's loud and bright colours, some people really didn't like his paintings. They called him and his friends “Fauves,” which means “wild cat or wild beast of colour.” But, Matisse and his friends didn't mind at all! They began calling themselves Fauvists. They liked the name!
