This week we are getting inspiration from snails and butterflies!

Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was a very famous French artist. He liked cutting out paper to make collages. He called his work 'painting with scissors'!

• Look at Matisse's picture: The Snail.
• Watch the video clip from Tate Kids.

Make your own snail collage!

• Cut out paper squares in lots of different colours from old magazines or catalogues.
• Cut your squares into lots of different sizes.
• Arrange your squares in a spiral shape on a large piece of paper or card.
• Start with the smallest square in the centre. Then place the rest of the squares in size order until you get to the outside of the shell.
• When you are happy with your design, stick the squares onto the page.
• Display your art work!
