Monochromatic Landscape in Purple!


Greetings! Today, the students were introduced to monochromatic painting. Students were able to ascertain the difference between a tint and a shade of a color. After the discussion of tints and shades and being shown examples of monochromatic art as well as an explanation of atmospheric perspective, students drew a landscape idea they wanted to interpret in purple. Using purple and white acrylics, students started their paintings on canvas board. All finished a sky and mountains. Next week they'll add black to the purple to complete the middle and foregrounds of their paintings. We ran out of time to finish previous projects, so NEXT WEEK we'll "catch up" on all unfinished work and send it home. According to my directives, NEXT WEEK is the last session before school is out. -Carl Clausen, Art Teacher
