6th grade painting

Sonia Delauney, an artist who loved geometric shapes and bold color combinations and patterns, was the inspiration artist for our 6th Grade painting project. Each student designed and painted a pattern of circles and lines in a color scheme they chose. We used great care to make our edges smooth and used tints and shades to give our paintings depth. Students told us they learned so much about acrylic painting! One student commented, "This project taught me patience." So true! This class is a joy to teach. --Mrs. Paradis
