1. Spend some time taking a look at the objects around your residence. Do you have empty toilet paper rolls? Do you have empty bottles or mason jars lying around? Look for items with interesting textures to create patterns with!
2. Once having gathered some objects. Add different color paints to your paint palette or paper plate.
3. Take the bottom of a bottle and dip it in the paint.
4. Hold bottle and firmly place on a clean sheet of paper.
5. Create different circle patterns to create an abstract piece of your own like Kandinsky or turn your stamp into your own creation like a flower! Use your fingers or a paintbrush to help shape your art piece.
Example: You can place the tip of your finger in the paint and stamp a center to your flower. Then take your finger to paint the stem and leaves.
6. Experiment by using different objects that you find. Please consult with a guardian before using anything.
7. Be sure to share what you create with BMoA on social media!
Patterns: A repeated decorative design; repeating unit of shape or form, but it can also be thought of as the “skeleton” that organizes the parts of a composition.
Abstract Art: This form of art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.
Impressionism: 19th century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin brush strokes with emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities.
