Collaborative Paintings

My Visual Art Major students did a collaborative painting to help make signs for Open House.

We discussed how artist will work together to complete a large mural.

As a table they agreed upon a geometric shape.

Then using black paint they painted the geometric shape all over the large bulletin board paper.

Using the black they connected the shapes with different types of lines. Straight, zig zag, wavy, curly que, etc..

Then they used the primary colors to create new colors to paint in their shapes.

After the shapes were painted they did the same with the spaces they created with the lines, in between the shapes.

I took these paintings and used black paint to write messages for the parents for Open House.

Many parents come to Open House but no one ever visits the art room. Now I have signs telling parents the art room is open to come visit and I displayed student art all in one. I had many parents stop by and I will continue this project every year!
