- Each student has to choose one day of the week apart from Friday, which is obliged for everybody.

- With your two days, Friday and the other one, you have to design shapes, forms and silhouettes related to your days.

- These shapes have to be based on Matisse art work.

- Think about how you feel when it is Friday and try to convey these feelings on your shapes.

- Also think about how you feel during the other day, that has to be one from Monday to Thursday, not Saturday or Sunday, and reflect these feelings as well.
