We use the Henri Matisse collage, “The Horse, the Rider and the Clown,” as our inspiration for this project. On the website, http://www.henri-matisse.net/cut_outs.html find information about how Matisse found his way to, as he called it, “painting with scissors.” You’ll find this project, “The Dog, The Cat and the Panther,” in the 5th Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
