I worked with students in two Philadelphia Schools, through the Violette de Mazia Foundation's Look and See Program. The discussion focused on the experience of visual art. We looked at paintings through the artist's use of Light (value), Line, Color and Space to discover the artist's picture idea.
Students used their senses to examine their experience with gourds. Upon seeing their chosen gourd, they began to draw and paint the shapes, colors, weight and textures. Each child relayed their experience in his/her own way, based on their sense relationship with the object.
Beyond the subject of gourds, students painted colorful ovals with bumpy lines and circles set against a cool background..
