Happy New Year!

Super short!

The end of last year found all art classes working on HLSR art, so I really didn't have too much to blog about, but did post a few pictures of artwork in progress to Instagram, so please follow thereddesk for more immediate images of what the kids are up to.  Gosh that was a long sentence . . . was it a sentence ???

 I will begin blogging more regularly now that we will be working on smaller and shorter projects.  

One project I actually completed was a collaborative piece my kids worked on LAST YEAR! Hope you enjoy seeing the end product as much as I do.

Thanks for hanging in there!  More to come in the upcoming weeks!  

A Kandinsky Copycat

Hello!

A couple of weeks ago each art student contributed a 6"x 6" piece of canvas to be used in a huge collaborative art piece!  I have featured the abstract artist, Wassily Kandinsky, on my bulletin board and we finally had time to talk about him, his artwork, and mimic this painting titled Concentric Circles.

Here are some "in progress" pictures. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The students were limited on color on purpose.  I only gave them primary colors, black, and white.  If they wanted any other color, they had to mix it.  I could tell which ones paid attention when we covered color theory and which ones didn't :)

Here are some finished canvases. . .

I laid the canvases out on my desk to give me an idea of how they will look when mounted.  I think they look GREAT!   I will set to mounting them to produce one huge composition over the Christmas holidays.  Where it will be displayed????? No clue yet, but when it's up, I'll let you guys know!!
Have a great week :)
