It was a demanding process that required a lot of thought and fine motor control. The children needed to draw shapes and patterns, reflecting Matisse's style, and then use scissors in a controlled way, turning the paper and card to form curves, twists and spirals. Finally, we worked together to create a cross brace out of old broken pencils and secured it with strings and then everyone's mobiles were exhibited for parents and carers to see in our end-of-term art and design exhibition.
