Abstract Expressionist Art

Hey guys! I know it has been a while, but I am back! We recently watched a movie about a four year old girl that painted artwork that was sold for a lot of money. We had to do an abstract art project. This project was so fun! It was cool because there was so much freedom, and what the picture looked like was really up to us. It didn't even take five minutes. All I did was use the paint brush tool in black and scribble around the blank canvas without picking up the mouse, so it was one very curvy line. Then I filled in the odd shapes with random colors. Some of them have the same color inside of them, but I tried not to put the same color next to each other except for in one case. I thought it was cool that I accidentally made the Star of David, so I colored it all the same color. See if you can find it! My picture kind of reminds me of stained glass windows that you can find in older buildings, like churches. This was totally my favorite project. It's quick and easy, but it makes a really cool picture. Ta Ta for Now!
