This week in our Modern Painting class
we explored ways of using SHAPE to
design compelling compositions.
We got out the colored papers and glue and
did some fun quick exercises focussing on limiting our shapes.
I gave them each an image of a well known classic painting
and they were to use 5 shapes to “describe” it.
This is just one of the awesome results…
Then we all did quick collages using images on our phones
or old paintings as a reference.
This gal chose her fringed poppies and came up with this.
As always, I was so excited about all of the results,
I forgot to take pictures!
To me, collage offers great opportunities
for some wonderful, spontaneous magic to happen.
And it’s fun!
