Collage – Matisse, Icarus, and Sadie


People have been making collages for hundreds of years – but it was artists including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso that brought it to modern art. A famous collage by Matisse is called Icarus, who in Greek Mythology was the one who wanted to fly. I want to to – and I think Sadie does also! How about you? The word collage comes from the French word for glue. You don’t have to actually use glue to make a collage – you just have to put different things together (colored paper, photos, ribbons, newspaper – even music or words),  to make something new! It’s not really a painting because it’s not flat, but it’s not really a sculpture either.
