• Research some top abstract painters. Choose one, two, or three paintings that speak to you. • Draw and paint your own piece in response to the specific thing in each painting you like most.Don’t copy it; instead, let it guide you to express your own version of it. • Title your work “Ode to…” to remind you of your conversation.
Sketchbook Reflection:
• Jot down some favorite artists and paintings you come across in your research. • Make a note about what specifically interests you about their work. For example: color, line quality, shading, layering, texture, size, shapes, forms, etc.
