2nd Grade Abstract Heart Paintings


Abstract Heart Paintings

Students were introduced to the concept of abstract art. We looked at a variety of famous artworks and discussed the differences between realistic and abstract. Students were then instructed to paint five hearts using black paint anywhere on their paper. Students all used the same bright colors to create their paintings




We also discussed how powerful and important the human heart is




Oil pastel was used to sharpen edges and add more lines to the paintings










When the paintings were complete they were hung in the gymnasium just in time for Jump Rope for Heart!
