Henri Matisse was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker who was one of the leading artists of the Fauvist movement. He was known for his use of bright, bold colors and his ability to convey emotion through his use of line and form. Matisse's works often feature fluid, organic shapes and a strong sense of movement. He was a master of the color cutout, using brightly colored paper to create vibrant compositions.
In addition to his paintings, Matisse was also known for his sculptures, drawings, and lithographs. Throughout his long career, he continually experimented with new techniques and styles, and he is considered to be one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His work continues to be celebrated and admired by art lovers and collectors around the world.

We have been enjoying Meet the Masters at Friends Christian School for about 7 years. I am so impressed with the program. It has taught the children not only facts about a particular artist but also a love of art. Many of the students who are not excelling academically find a talent or expression in art that they may not find anywhere else. This builds their self-confidence. I have seen this time and time again. Our MTM teacher has been such an inspiration to our students with her passion and enthusiasm. The way she leads the assembly with slides, hands-on objects, facts, and background of the artist has the kids so intently listening it is amazing. The children are able to recall facts about the artist long after the project, because it is taught in such an interesting and exciting way. Being someone who loves art and creativity I wanted to thank you for this program for our school and thank you for sending a teacher who loves what she does.
We are truly blessed.
