Abstract Disk: 5th

This is a reconstruction of the idea I used in the Delaunay & Klee for 6th grade project. A good combination of abstract artists, layer painting and a little bit of free style/improvisation (no pencil first).

We also got a chance to outline the use of color schemes,
in this case, warm and cool colors.




Results again, were incredible. Everyone was successful and students had a lot of fun with the project too! These are just some of the 60+ artworks created...

Delaunay & Klee abstract inspiration: 6th

This project involved a lot of information based on artists as well as color schemes and concept drawing. Students had a great time mixing colors without much restrain and it's wonderful to see so many different, unique results!

I found this project on Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artists
and gave it a few changes for my 6th graders in order to
make it a bit more challenging. This is a project you can adapt
easily and use for all grades!
