The girls of the 8
th age have spent the past few weeks learning about Abstract
expressionist painter, Helen
Frankenthaler. We began by looking at her art work and spent a entire class interpreting the meaning of her large abstract canvases. The girls ideas and thoughts about the work were amazingly insightful. After that the girls made color washes, similar to Helen and set to work on
their own
paintings. We spent 3 classes pouring, painting and staining our "canvases". I've included photos of both the girls at work and some of the end products. Enjoy and try to interpret the meanings of their paintings on your own!
