Explore the colorful world of Henri Matisse and his late-career “cut-outs” in this hands-on art class at ArtsClub’s studio. Over the course of his 60+ year art career, Matisse pioneered a playful new technique he called “drawing with scissors” — painting with gouache on paper, cutting bold shapes, and assembling them into vibrant compositions inspired by nature and the joy of life.
Your session begins with a lively art history introduction, giving you insight into Matisse’s story and the inspiration behind his iconic collages. Then, guided by a professional artist, you’ll paint, cut, and assemble your own abstract collage on board, experimenting with color and form to create a frame-worthy work of art.
This beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for team-building events, birthday parties, or creative nights out. It’s designed to be approachable and stress-free, with an emphasis on process, play, and creative exploration. By the end of class, you and your group will have a colorful collection of Matisse-inspired collages to take home and display.
Join us for an inspiring and relaxing creative experience, and discover why Matisse’s cut-outs remain some of the most joyful works of modern art.
