Henri Matisse began his studies to become a lawyer. He wanted to become an artist. He fell sick and his mother gave him some paints. After he was well, he went to Paris to study painting. He painted throughout the beginning of his life. He became seriously ill later in life and was unable to paint as he desired because he had become bedridden or confined to a wheelchair. For a period of time Matisse was saddened and faced challenges with such a significant life change. Matisse overcame his adversity by rethinking his approach to creativity. He had his assistance paint paper and he used scissor to create shapes. Matisse created compositions that included a variety of geometric and organic shapes with bold color. In this project students created "stained glass" inspired by his cut-out compositions.
