The colourful posters of this Henri Matisse Inspired Collage Art Poster Pack have been created using the collage technique. A collage is a process of finding, collecting, arranging, and sticking different materials together to create beautiful and engaging imagery and artwork. The collage technique offers the chance for budding artists - whether they’re 5 or 15 - to think about both colour and texture to express their idea. 

The inspiration for this beautifully designed Henri Matisse Inspired Collage Art Poster Pack has been the work of Henri Matisse. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

This Henri Matisse Inspired Collage Art Poster Pack is filled with colourful illustrations of leaves and other nature-themed elements, as well as geometric shapes that will be a favourite for children and adults alike.
