Sadly Tuesday November 25 is our last art class for this session. Most of the students are still working on their "What Makes Me Scream" lesson inspired by Edvard Munch's "The Scream". I have a quick project for those that finish early or those that want to finish at home.
We will be using our names to create an abstract design. Abstract is defined as art that does not attempt to represent reality but achieves it's effect by using shape, form, color and texture (some of our elements of art).
Students will be given a square of paper and write their names in large block style.

| block style name |
The letters will be colored in with marker in one color. We will take care not to scribble with the markers, but to color with even strokes to fill in the letters.

Next the paper will be folded so we get 16 rectangles. These will be cut up into individual pieces.

The pieces will be assembled together to create an abstract design. We do not want to put the name back so we can read it, but play around with the pieces until we achieve an interesting, balanced design.

Students then have the option of adding some color to the background using crayons.
