Abstract Art Class – Winter 2012 – #3
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Since yesterday I repainted the dark green to a lighter green on my abstract painting and changed one dark green circle to yellow. Everyone in class liked the white edge, so all I have to do is sign it. Oh – it really looks great hanging on a corner with the big blue circle down! Great for a kid’s room!
We used an interesting way to create an abstract painting today. Teacher gave us 3 x 5 cards with a rectangle cut out to use as a view finder and we looked at a variety of photos of paintings. The object was to use the viewfinder to eliminate all but a small area and move it around until we found a pleasing abstract. Then paint it as we saw it or alter it as we liked. Now, how easy is that for finding inspiration for a panting?
