Workshop - Matisse—Drawing with Scissors

Location
Henri Matisse began using cut paper to explore composition for stage curtains, tapestries and stained glass windows in the 1930s. When, in 1941 he was bed ridden with an infection, he returned to paper cut-outs. Matisse’s cut-outs have been described as “an amalgam of drawing, painting and sculpture, a profound and wholly modern synthesis of the arts.” Working with hand-painted papers participants will create exuberant and dynamic cut paper drawings like the master.

Testimonials
This tour delivers the goods. Being raised just outside of washington d.c. (Bethesda), I've gone on innumerable DC sightseeing tours in my lifetime. Every time a family friend or relative visited from out of town meant another trip down to the Mall, another sightseeing tour. Monument tours, ghost tours, "Duck" tours, you name it I've done it. But out of all the DC tours I've been on this was one of the best. I went last weekend with my nieces and nephews on the Capitol Hill tour, which lasted a little over two hours. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the historic sites and presented the information in a fun and lively manner. His enthusiam for the subject was infectious. He had my nieces and nephews in rapt atttention from start to finish. Highly recommend.
