“I do not know how to defi ne my painting,” Delaunay wrote in 1978. “But no matter, because I don’t trust classifi cations and systems. How should I defi ne what is done with the heart?”

Student Materials

1. Write your name on the fame label and glue on the back of the 9x12 abstract print.

2. Use yellow watercolor fi rst for one half of the composition. Be careful to not over saturate the paper with watercolor. You may only need to dip the brush in the yellow watercolor 3-4 times.

3. Use orange watercolor on the other half just the same. Remember to not over saturate. The paper should only take 2-3 mins to dry. You can lightly fan the paper or blow on it to speed up the drying process. Collect the blue trays before using oil pastels in step 4.

4. Use oil pastels to fi ll in rings within the composition. Fill the ring area so that no orange or yellow shows through. As you apply pressure some pieces of the pastel will fl ake. Do not rub these fl akes otherwise the colors will bleed together. You can easily blow them off or fan your paper. The fi nal piece is vibrant, expressive and colorful.

1. Write your name on the fame label and glue on the back of the 9x12 print with the triangle.

2. Use a pencil and circle dicuts to trace various rings along the triangle. Feel free to overlap the rings or place them next to each other like a rainbow. Remember what we learned about background, midground and foreground. You can erase some of the curved lines behind a circle that you want to bring to the forground.

3. Use yellow watercolor fi rst for the triangle area of the composition. Be careful to not over saturate the paper with watercolor. You may only need to dip the brush in the yellow water color 3-4 times.

4. Clean brush with water and use paper towel to dry completely. Use orange watercolor on the left and right side of the triangle just the same. Remember to not over saturate. The paper should only take about 3 mins to dry. You can lightly fan the paper or blow on it to speed up the drying. Collect the blue trays before using oil pastels in step 5.

Do not rub these fl akes otherwise the colors will bleed together. You can easily blow them off or fan your paper. The fi nal piece is vibrant, expressive and colorful.
