Week 20- Beginning our Abstract Expressionism Collages

This past week, we worked began our Abstract Expressionism Collages.  We reviewed what we talked about last week by discussion feeling, emotion and expression depicted in work in an abstract way.  I did a short demo on applying the glue mixture to the tissue paper, and we were on our way...





I asked the students to think about what they want to convey in their work as far as feeling or emotion are concerned.  It's fun to play with color and shape, but we also want there to be a purpose and thought process behind it.  

This week, we'll finish up our collages and the following week we'll have our end of the year party.  See you then!
