May Virtual Twistshop: “Matisse Collages & Art Therapy”

When: Thursday May 15th, 6:30 CST/ 7:30 EST

Description: In this month’s Twistshop we will explore the techniques and artworks made by the famous, Heni Matisse. Matisse described these “cut-out” works as “drawing with scissors,” and he used this technique for works of various sizes and subjects. Collage gives artists the opportunity to pull pieces from their surrounding environments and form their own collection of images and words that have personal meaning to them. From these pieces, they can create their own unique entity that reflects their inner world.

Facilitated by art therapist, Jacqueline Carmody ATR-BC, LCPC, ATCS
