Mixed Media
We studied the work of Joseph Stella (in the Futurist school of modern art). We looked at his use of lines and pattern to create movement. Using these elements to direct their art, the students employed a variety of media. They were told to use at least four different media, and were given the choice of graphite, marker, watercolor, paper collage, marker and crayon. The results of this mixed media project were quite pleasing. Especially when dark lines were painted to make the work "pop".
