In this unit, students learned about different Abstract Expressionist artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. They first began painting different types of papers using abstract tools (no paintbrushes... instead they used toothbrushes, sticks, straws, sponges, etc.). Students were able to create beautiful and colorful abstract paintings!
After painting, students learned about artist Frank Stella, who creates 3D sculptural reliefs which are abstract and contain various lines, shapes, and movement. Taking their abstract paintings, students cut out various shapes and assembled them together to create their own sculptures!
These came out so colorful and fun!
Great job 7th grade!
