Who Am I?

Last week in art I told the kids about Henri Matisse and Fauvism (splashy, colorful art dubbed art of "wild beasts"). The inspiration for these portraits came from that segment of the lesson. If you know the kids in my class, try to figure out who is who! They pulled on their knowledge of proportion, but abandoned all trappings of natural color.

Now, stay tuned for next week, because these portraits are approaching metamorphosis! Just to give you an idea, after the Matisse information I told the class how Matisse and other artists influenced Picasso and Cubism (art that looks at a subject, breaks it into a million pieces, and puts it back together without traditional reason). WHAT is in store for these faces!??
