Explore seven abstract art projects rooted in art history, featuring masters like Kusama, Monet, O'Keeffe, Rothko, Pollock, and Martin, including pattern, color studies, and feminist themes.
Explore abstract painting by using polka dots as a starting place and pattern-driven composition, inspired by Yayoi Kusama, with masking tape edges and colorful sponge-dot techniques.
Explore color studies through contrasting colors and color field painting, inspired by Rothko and Albers. Create two acrylic exercises with blue, pink, and teal to observe color interactions.
Explore markmaking as the driver of abstract painting, influenced by Jackson Pollock, Kai Gil Kwang, and Jorinde Voigt. Use acrylics, brushes, stencils, and letters to create marks, textures, and washes.
Create meditative abstract patterns by building even beige-to-gray-to-white stripes inspired by Agnes Martin, testing color and stripe width on small pieces to plan larger works.
Explore feminist art through experimental abstracts by repeating necklace patterns inspired by Judy Chicago and the Guerrilla Girls, using color blocks, gold accents, and markers to build visual rhythm.
Learn to transform old paintings by applying gold paint to create a precious, varied surface and focal circles, enabling two variations of gold use across landscapes, portraits, and abstracts.
Use cut-out lettering as stencils to build a brushy, texture-focused abstract, layering colors with washes so texture dominates, while color shows through and a pattern emerges.
