Lesson: "Fall"owing Henri Matisse and His Cut-outs
1st Grade
Non-Art Discipline Concept
Shapes are all around us, whether they are organic or inorganic. Nature consists of mainly organic shapes, and man-made materials are usually organic. These two types of shapes create the world and our human perspectives on life. Our own faces are prime examples of organic shapes, where none of our features are exactly symmetrical. If they were, we would look very strange, perfection to the strangest degree. One example of a perception on life is how we perceive ourselves, more specifically how we look. A person may be so concerned about his/her physical appearance that they neglect to see the positives in his/her characteristics.
