I’ve created this Meet Matisse Unit to make it easy for you to introduce your children to Henri Matisse. They’ll learn about his place in art history, consider his work, and try out their own projects inspired by him.

Matisse is a great creativity mentor for our children, always experimenting, willing to take risks, and always exploring his creativity throughout his life. 

Everything is organised for you, with (simple) materials lists, plenty of examples of Matisse’s work, and a set of bonus printables. It’s a no-prep solution that will introduce your children to one of the art world’s greats and show them how they can also explore color and creativity.

Everything you need to teach creative, hands-on art lessons inspired by Henri Matisse.
