Intro to Abstract Art Painting Project

Description

Get everything you need to teach an intro to abstract art in your art class. Designed for an introduction to art high school art class, but great for advanced-level middle school artists, bring the world of abstract art into your art room with this painting project.

Abstract art is a difficult concept to teach young artists. This intro to abstract art project helps ground abstraction in a real concept through memory. Introduction to art students are pushed to use design to create an abstract pattern and use color theory to create their work of art.

I teach this project in my high school intro to art class and it has always been a fun, successful way to break down a difficult concept. This project is perfect for upper middle school art or high school art students.

All in all this project pack includes:

• Lesson plan (each lesson plan includes a big idea, essential questions, objectives, art standards, writing and literacy standards, supply list, and a step-by-step breakdown on how to present this assignment.)
• PowerPoint presentation to visually show the steps
• Worksheet to help students brainstorm ideas for a design and break the design down into an abstract shape.
• Color scheme activity to fill in the color wheel and practice color schemes
• Critique reflection worksheet
• Rubric
