Magnificent Modern Art - Henri Matisse

This summer a tutoring client and I are going through the Magnificent Modern Art course from Art History Kids together. It's been really interesting so far. Art History isn't something I ever really learned about, so it's new to me. And so, of course, I'm going to keep some notes here as we go along!

Last week it was Post Impressionism and the artist Vincent van Gogh.

This week we are studying

I love Matisse. There is also a cute picture book called Matisse: The King of Color and Colorful Dreamer.
