Mrs. Abbas’ Art Room
The blog of a teaching artist.
8/31/2019 0 Comments August 31st, 2019As we started up the school year this week, I wanted my artists to gain confidence in their artistic abilities by creating a structured abstract art piece. In addition, I wanted to foster the classroom community by having students work together in groups to complete a collaborative artwork. In their groups, students had to agree on a four-color color scheme. Then, each student took a turn rolling a dice to determine what kind of mark they would make to create their composition. After the initial black marks were made, students continued taking turns to fill in each section with textures and patterns using the colors of their chosen color scheme. Once all of the collaborative abstract artworks were completed, they were hung on the wall to critique. Students discussed which artworks caught their eye, which artworks were successful, and which artworks could use improvement. Students were not allowed to offer vague critiques. Each student was challenged to offer kind, helpful, and specific feedback. I was very impressed with my art critics! Ask your students about Austin’s butterfly!
