·         gain appreciation for work of Peter Max - 1960s artwork

·         explore pattern and color in creating an abstracted figure composition

Media: inks, acrylics, watercolors/pencils, fine-tip sharpies

Vellum/Bristol board

Vocabulary: repeat, combine, disguise, mythologize, pattern,

motif, space, shape, texture, symbols.

Project:  From a selected theme, make a line drawing of a figure (Try a figure you may not have used before).

Divide the background space and parts of the image into smaller increments.

Fill up to 90% ninety percent of the shapes with different decorative patterns but allow some shapes to remain un-textured. Patterns tend to disguise images and flatten pictorial space. Combining different shapes, patterns, textures with different media, scale should be a key element as well.
