Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

4th Grade Project: Monumental Abstracts

The 4th graders are winding down on their work on Monumental Abstracts, to look back at earlier steps in this process you can visit: O'Keeffe Abstracts

The finished projects are beautiful.  The students have done so well and this project though lengthy has held the students attention so well.

Original abstract and Monumental Abstract.


















A Monumental Abstract is a work that takes a portion of an image and zooms in to a point where the original image can often be lost - giving way to new image.  The work of Georgia O'Keeffe largely inspires this project, especially her floral abstracts.
