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.

While I was in elementary school, Meet the Masters visited many times and I was in awe by the whole experience. To this day I still think about the lessons I learned and still have my rendition of Van Goghâs Starry Night. I would love to inspire young students the same way Meet the Masters instructors have inspired me and so many of us.
