May is New Zealand Music Month

This week we explored cut paper artworks using the theme "May is New Zealand Music Month".

Follow the link to learn more about this promotion for New Zealand music.

There are many famous artists who have created wonderful artworks from cut paper. One of these was a French artist called Henri Matisse.


         

Our cut paper artworks had to have a 3-dimensional aspect to them.  To achieve this we created curvatures through our cut out hands, making them look as though they were playing their instruments. Some artists even tried to show key chords.
