The bones do not symbolize death to me. They are shapes that I enjoy. It never occurred to me that they had anything to do with death; they are very lively! … They please me and I like them in relation to the sky.

So….
what are we
gonna
do?Slide42
We are going to do large oil pastel drawing of a flower/s, using a grid to increase our observation and drawing skills.Slide43
Then we are going to do an abstract watercolor landscape painting that focuses on the movement and colors of the landscape more than the actual details.Slide44
This project has two very different parts: one that focuses on really seeing every detail and line, and another that focuses on eliminating the details and enhancing the colors and emotions.
Why would we do this?Slide45Slide46
