Sunflower tweeluik (very small
diptych)
Dimensions: 4"x4" (10x10 cm)
Mixed media
This week I was also
teaching
younger students (8 and 10) in a 2
hour class.
We did the color wheel, (powerpoint
presentation) and also saw a power
point
presentation about Sunflowers from
seedlings to the big flowers.
We learned about Vincent van Gogh's
Sunflowers and analyzed them.
We studied how artists paint
expressively.
We identified warm colors, circular
shapes and rough textures.
(We used a lot of texture in our own still
life collage painting!)
Crushed eggshells for the heart of the
flower.
All the leaves were cut from
(international) newspapers and other
different kind of texturized
papers.
We used a special glue for this collage
painting: Gel and Matte Medium
(Liquitex)
With the help of the
color wheel we
choose a complimentary color for all
that yellow: COBALT BLUE it was for
the
background in different shades.
And look at the end result
(2nd
picture):
a signed awesome piece of art,
framed in a real
wooden frame and wired, ready to
hang!
