Matisse For Kids is an online interactive from the Baltimore Museum of Art.
It’s accessible to Intermediate English Language Learners and, even though it doesn’t have audio support, is a very engaging guide to artist Henri Matisse’s work and art in general.
I’ve placed the link on my website under Music and Art.

Dear Larry:
I love this resource. You’re right it’s for Intermediate learners and it’s got much technical vocabulary.
But it’s a fantastic resource to learn by playing. Kids can explore Matisse’s paintings in a funny way and new words are very clearly explained.
They can learn a bit of French , too. Activities are short enough to keep kids interested and they’re linked to connect pictures and the way Matisse thought ART . Finally they can make their own masterpiece. It’s a good excuse to summarize the whole lesson.
Thanks Larry !!!
