2nd Grade Matisse Goldfish Bowls


 Henri Matisse Goldfish


My leave replacement did these, and they look particularly great on the peach bulletin board paper.  I like how clean these came out.  The cut-out shapes aren't to small and they are layered just enough to add depth and interest without being overworked.  The fishbowls were watercolor with salt effects and the fish themselves were cut from textured painted paper using paint scrapers.  Btw, if I haven't mentioned this before, I LOVE paint scrapers!.

I've also taught a different version of this project.  You can find it HeRe
