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.

The Meet the Masters art camp in Uganda was a great success! MTM was a highlight for the children, and it made it very simple and straightforward to teach. Thanks isn’t enough…the children and adults loved learning about the color wheel, art history, seeing famous pieces of art – plus, making their own masterpieces. I saw many children moved in new ways because of the art they experienced through the curriculum.
