Today, we learned about abstract art! We first asked the kids what they know about abstract art. They answered the question perfectly, and said the exact definition of abstract art. We then went over the elements of abstract art, and the different components of it. Next, we went over the history of abstract art, and how it began. The kids were so interested to learn that abstract art started as a result of the end of WW2, and was fascinated about its linkage. Then, we talked about a few abstract artists, and the significance they left on the movement, and also their paintings. As a fun activity, we then told the kids to try to make their own abstract art, to depict how they are feeling. They made great and amazing pieces of art! We then wrapped up the class by taking a few BuzzFeed quizzes.
