I am teaching art at the Academy for Lifelong Learning (University of Delaware) in Wilmington, DE.
This semester our focus will be exploring new materials (mixed media) in an abstract form.
COLOR, SHAPE AND
COMPOSITION will be the first
subject I will cover in a 13 week
structured lesson plan.
Every other week we will cover a new subject.
I painted this just to show my
students what colors, shapes and lines
will do in/with a painting.
Left side for instance, I purposely did not
use a black contour to emphasize the
shapes in the red circle and in the grey triangle.
I like it quite a bit! It definitely is a happy painting! ______________________________ Abstract oil
Dimensions: 18"x24" (46X61 cm)
on a Studio stretched canvas.
Painted staple free sides.
Painting doesn't need a frame.
