We started this lesson out by reading the book titled Henri's Scissors, which is about the artist Henri Matisse and his paintings and paper collages. The students learned the difference between geometric and organic shapes by looking at images and identifying the difference between them. I then did a demonstration on how to draw shapes to use as a guide to cut out and use in order to create various elements in a landscape. I also showed the students how to use a circle stencil. The students were then asked to create a landscape scene by using both geometric and organic shapes.
