"I dreamed that I was Flying" is the theme of the 7th grade expressionist paintings. Students have been studying moods, color and painting techniques for the past few weeks. Now they need to make their choices for their Expressionist paintings.
They must choose:
What expression of flying do you want to portray?
What mood do you want to show?
What color scheme will best show that mood?
What type of line quality will express that mood the best?
Students will be working with tempera paint, concentrating on mixing the exact colors they feel will express their painting and using the best brush for the line quality they wish to express it with.
