YOU MAKE AN EXPRESSIONIST PAINTING

STUDENT GALLERY John age 7

Gather acrylic paints, a paper plate palette, round and flat brushes, paper, a water container, and a paper towel.

Like the Expressionist artist, Franz Marc, paint a picture of an animal in a landscape using bright colors that are available in the acrylic paint set. You may want to give the colors a meaning like Marc did. Pink could mean something delicate and fragile or it could mean loudness. It is up to you to decide the meaning of each color. Then, use colors to show not only the animal, but a picture that has a meaning.

1. Draw the picture in pencil. Fill in the spaces with bright colors.

2. To make the subjects stand out, outline them in black, using the round brush.
