In the late 1940s, Henri Matisse turned almost exclusively to cut paper as his primary medium, and scissors as his chief implement, introducing a radically new operation that came to be called a cut-out. This course celebrates the exhibition of Matisse prints on show at Curwen. You will create screen prints in response. Using a palette of colours inspired by the work in the show we will cut paper stencils and screen print shapes to create colourful Matisse style works on paper.
Course structure
• View the exhibition and discuss the technique of paper cutting and stencils and look at examples.
• Introduction to the equipment and how to set it up.
• Plan your image, how to cut paper stencils and apply them to the screen.
• How to register your print, mix inks, how to pull a print.
• Use your own stencils to create unique layered prints in the style of Matisse.
