Freedom Dreaming Through Abstract Art with Kate Wright
Exercise #1: If you were to draw freedom, what lines would you choose?
Create for a while, then observe. What do you notice?
Exercise #2: What is freedom to you? If it were a color, what color would it be?
Use any materials avaialbe to you to represent freedom as a color.
Exercise #3: How would freedom move?
Visually describe freedom through movement.
Create a large scale work that represents your emergent education freedom dream(s):
If you wish, start fresh!
Or, you can combine and integrate the artwork you created in response to the color, line, and movement exercises above.
Notes:
Don’t be afraid to experiment! Give yourself permission to try, let go, and create…
There are no mistakes in art and no rules
Use multiple materials and resources
Consult the Elements of Art Handout to help guide your choices of line, color, shape, value, form, texture, space.
You can add writing within your artwork to provide more meaning to your personal, education freedom dreams
