It has been so gloomy this winter. I'm ready for some warmer days and SUN! For this project we will talk about warm and cool colors and wavy and curved lines - there are two elements of art: color & line. Using a tracer so the sun is the right size we will sketch a sun onto a 11" x 14" canvas. One side of the sun's rays will use wavy lines the other straight lines. The face is divided sort of Picasso style so one half can be warm colors and the other cool.
Straight lines on left side and wavy lines on right side.
We will be using acrylic paints on canvas for this project. My example is on paper. We will be working with opposites: one half, warm background, cool rays and face the other side is cool background, warm rays and face. This example is for the younger kids.
Older students will be doing cool background, warm rays, cool face and the other side is warm background, cool rays and warm face. I'm looking for some layering of colors: I started with a light purple for the face and added some darker around the edges. Also a bit more detail in the background.
The project will be outlined when dry.
