Students used overlapping, space, converging lines, placement, detail, and color to create the illusion of depth in a surreal landscape. Materials? Tempera, collage, charcoal, colored pencil...on brown paper bag!

Group Painting (Non-Representational Art Using a Viewfinder)
*Art One*
Each table of students used a small viewfinder to find a small non -representational portion of a newspaper photograph to inspire a large scale tempera cake painting.
REFLECTION: I was not concerned with color-mixing. Most groups did not mix. I kept circulating the room to remind students that their painting should not look like something recognizeable! They were to simplify. I did discuss balance with some groups; paint red in one area then use it somewhere else in the composition as well. This was a great project for collaboration practice. Next year I will spend time showing Color Field artwork examples. I taped these large paintings up high on the classroom walls around the room and they add energy to the room. Great 2 day project.

Student Checklist:
PowerPoint on Alice Neel and Henri Matisse
Interior Space contours drawn in pencil and oil pastel on large brown grocery bag
drew 2 long seated poses of classmates on brown lunchbags
cut out figure(s) and glued into interior
painted with Tempera. Showed value gradients and mix with like/analogous colors
chose one pattern from fabric swatches and used colored pencils. Pattern must be apparent in at least 2 different areas to create movement and balance.
Both figure and background should have pattern.
Facial expression practice in sketchbook--figure(s) should show an emotion in final work.
