Introducing M to Matisse

We are (fingers crossed) off to see the Matisse Cut-outs exhibition at the tate so in preparation I read M Henri's Scissors

This is a really good book explaining the story behind Matisse's Cut-Outs. It's a little sad at the end as (spoiler alert!) Matisse obviously dies but I prepared M for this and she was fine about it,  It always gets me though!!

Then I showed her a book I have with lots of Matisse's Cut-Outs in.




So hopefully now she's prepared she will enjoy the exhibition and I can too! Children including teenagers always seem to respond really well to Matisse's Cut-Outs and the story behind them. I'm looking forward to doing some cut-outs of our own next week!
