    Matisse is excellent for young children. I did a unit with second graders
    for "Make a Difference Day" (several years ago--but a good lesson). Students
    traced their own hand and used it in the composition (both the positive and
    negative shape). They made drawings and tracings of various tools too that
    were cut from construction paper. The whole composition was cut construction
    paper--on 12x12 square. We used a limited color plan (triad: yellow, red,
    blue, white, black--students could add a touch of one complimentary color if
    they wished)

    When the collage was finished, they wrote how they could make a difference
    and help someone else. They also wrote how their composition showed "helping
    hands". The unit took two class periods.

    The finished composition were used for posters all throughout the school for
    "Make a Difference Day"--there was a canned food drive.
