Description
Henri Matisse's creative journey began with a simple shape - a cut-out bird from white paper. He pinned it to his room wall, but soon felt it needed companionship. So he created more shapes, and before long, his walls were transformed into vibrant gardens filled with colour and life. Through colourful illustrations and Matisse's own cut-outs, this book tells the story of how an artist's curiosity and experimentation led to a radical new form of art. You'll see how Matisse used everyday materials like paper and scissors to create simple shapes, which he then combined in innovative ways to bring his studio walls to life. This inspiring story showcases Matisse's creative process and encourages children to think creatively about the possibilities of art.
