Analagous Precisionist Paintings on Canvas

*Studio Drawing and Painting"

After discussing what was happening in the US during the 1920's and talking about the Precionist style of painting, students combined images from two image packets showing architecture and architecture details on a canvas. They use two neighboring colors on the color wheel, white acrylic tinted with watercolor, and show gradients in the shapes.
