Music, something that conveys a bright morning at home in your kitchen.
NARRATOR: This cut-out shows how Matisse sometimes arranged shapes to make a figure, or person. Here you can see a woman standing between two tables. Look closely at the table on the right. If you look at the pieces separately, the leg is a skinny sliver of purple on a yellow background. And the top of the table is a pink shape floating nearby. But when you look at them together.
KID 1: They look like a table.
NARRATOR: Now look at the woman. How did he put her together?
KID 2: The round black shape looks like her hair.
KID 3: Her body is orange and blue.
KID 1: Or maybe the blue is her robe.
NARRATOR: This work is a bit different from the other cut-outs. You can’t see this, but there’s a drawing beneath this picture. Matisse drew the woman first, and then assembled the cut shapes on top.
Can you find another cut-out in this room that looks like a woman? This one is dancing!
