Item Description...

Overview
Presents the life and work of Henri Matisse in the form of a child's school report.

Publishers Description
Keesia and Henri Matisse have the same birthday—New Year’s Eve! That’s why she picks him for her artist report. She finds out that over his long career Matisse made paintings, sculpture, books, costumes, and her favorite—his cut-outs, or what Matisse called "drawing with scissors." The report is filled with about 20 of Matisse’s masterpieces as well as artwork that Keesia has created in his "style" (cut-out leaves, drawings through windows, fauvist animals). As she follows Matisse through his life she discovers why he is considered one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
Not really great  Jan 14, 2008
I think it was cute for parents of the child, but not really worth purchasing, I expectsd a graft project book. Waste of money.
 
Excellent concept, well executed  Dec 15, 2007
An amusing introduction to the artist Matisse that I highly recommend. Written as though it's an 8-yr-old's school report, it is accessible and very informative. It includes reproductions of Matisse art and biographical information. Loved it. And it was useful as a teaching tool.
 
Disappointed in Matisse Drawing with Scissors  Aug 12, 2006
Cute, but not as substantial as I would have liked.
