Today we began our class with a short slideshow introducing the kids to the work of Mark Rothko. We discussed the difference between realistic art and abstract art. We looked through many of his pieces and noted how we felt about each. Colors can both represent emotions (for the artist) and illicit emotions (in the viewer).
Then we began our project. Following the style of Mark Rothko, the kids were asked to fill their pages with solid blocks of color. After their pages were filled we talked about how they felt when they looked at their creations. The kids were VERY prolific!
Hope you enjoyed these!
