We live in an abstract art world

The Art Foundations 1 and Senior Art 1 students just wrapped up a fun unit on abstracting the self/portrait. This was part of a 6-week unit where students learned how to draw a realistic self/portrait using a grid and revisiting the wonderful world of color. This is probably one of the best units taught since it gives students structure and freedom to create when they dip that brush in some paint.
