MONOGRAMS

Decorate your folder using a  MONOGRAM.

Use your initials, even numbers too!

Pay attention to: 

• overlapping letters need a "Gap"

• Work the thickness to create stability

• Let the shape of the letters tell the story

WECOME TO ART 1

Welcome!

I plan to use this bog as a resource for YOU to see more examples of what is ART!!!

Look here for class project handouts, examples of student work, and links to other artist ideas and work.

FRANK STELLA's abstract use of color and shape

Not many better examples of artists using color and shapes to create dynamic work!!! Look at the combinations of color and how they "shimmer" or react on the surface.... Also, notice that Stella's work changed from flat work to 3D sculptures as he got older (and wiser?).

See more about him here...
