Painting with Blobs and Outlines
 |
| August Light, Hans Hoffmann |
What shapes do you see?
How do you think the artist moved his arm to make these shapes?
Can you tell if the artist was painting a shape with up and down brushstrokes or side to side brushstrokes?
Painting Shapes:
Blob Method
- Dip brush in water to water
- Load your brush with paint
- Move the paint up and down, or back and forth until you have a shape that resembles a square.
Outline Method
- Paint two vertical lines.
- Cross them with two horizontal lines so that you have a square.
- Fill the square with paint. Demonstrate both methods of painting another shape, such as a circle or a triangle.
Paint the white spaces, leave the shapes so we can see them.
Remember to rinse and wipe the brush.
- Give students tiny brushes and black tempera to paint on top of their shapes.
We like the Shapes!
