As amazing as it may seem these abstract pictures - which to me look like something out of the
ending of 2001 - A Space Odyssey (sp?) - when Keir Dullea is hurled into space in his quest to find out what the
Monoliths was - are actually a result of a project I did with my two g-kids - ages 5 and almost 3.
The abstract art project was done on one panel of a Room Divider - and the meduim was that of
colored sand and glitter. The artists simply explored the Wonderful World of Abstract - by pouring the sand and glitter directly on the panel - as I stood by excitedly - seeing how absorbed they were in it all. Some glue was used and today - after taking these pictures for posterity - I turned the room divider
upright once more - and then proceeded to clean up the mess. I was able to save some of the sand and glitter for another time.
All in all - I deem it a very successful project - and I'm hoping it is the start of a new 'thing' - in the annals of abstart art. Perhaps not quite on the level of - let's say - Jackson Pollock's innovative drip
method - but still - one never knows - What New Worlds Are There To Explore.
Wow! I love what pieces you've isolated. Tell the g'kids that they have REAL talent! ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah - Abso. It takes Real talent to pour the sand on the room divider. You would not believe the MESS. I've got it under control now. :]
ReplyDeleteRather good Sue.
ReplyDeleteI think the bottom panel is the better, more balanced.
You need a little stronger color on the right of the top panel to balanc that block on the left.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment - Ducky - and the expertise advice.
I'm going to work on it.
How are you doing - by the way?
