With artist Martin Beek
In this one-day workshop you'll focus on the Persian art in the Museum's collection as inspiration for your own unique cut-out artwork, while exploring Henri Matisse's collage techniques, which were also inspired by Islamic art.
Matisse-inspired cut-out by Martin Beek
Matisse visited the Munich 1910 exhibition of Persian miniatures. Islamic design was a crucial factor in his work.
This workshop will include a short presentation on Henri Matisse’s paper cut-outs, and his working technique, followed by learning about the elements of line, composition, colour balance and simplicity that are the hallmarks of Matisse’s late works. You will develop a collage of your own inspired by the Ashmolean’ s rich collection and Matisse's inventive practices.
All materials will be provided.
This is part of our Change Makers season of events.
