Abstract Color Challenge
4th Grade
Fourth graders recently completed a two day challenge focusing on primary colors, color mixing, abstract art, and value. On the first day, students chose a plain piece of white paper to begin with. They were told to NOT write their names, as they would not be getting these papers back. The rules were to use only primary color paint to create a mostly abstract painting.
There was a lot of experimentation and curiosity taking place on day 1! You can see man examples of color mixing, pattern making, printing, varying brush strokes, and developing new painting tools.
Day 2- The rules:
See students at work on day 2!
 |
| Claudia LOVES dogs. Her table said she was turning into a Dalmatian with the spots on her face from splatter painting! |
 |
| Morgan turned mesh and materials in the recycle center into painting tools. Nice flexible thinking! |
 |
| Dominic experimenting with printing and crumpling. |
Check out the final paintings! Students partnered up and looked for examples of "thinking like an artist" in their partner's work when the paintings were complete. Nice work, 4th grade!
