Paths: Abstract Painting

We’re making

Mixed media painting that tells a story of how you arrived to class using acrylic paint and a variety of drawing media

We’re inspired by

Russna Kaur's painting Butterfly Tattoos (2019)

Suggested grade levels

Grades 8-12

We’re wondering

• What are some ways we can interpret the idea of "paths"?
• How can we use intuitive mark making to create a sense of mood in a non-representational artwork?
• How can abstract shapes and symbols add to the psychological depth of an image?
