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
