Matisse also figures prominently in The Museum of Modern Art's Art Safari Collage Activity Kit by Joyce Raimondo, former Family Programs Coordinator at the Museum of Modern Art. Focusing on animal-themed artwork from the museum's expansive collection (Henry Klee and John Mir"" are among the five artists highlighted), she frames questions to inspire critical thinking and offers open-ended activities to help children look at art through new eyes. The kit contains materials to make eight collages: scissors, sequins, fake fur and glue fit inside the box and a slide-out drawer holds colored paper. (Apr.)
