During group time on Friday we looked at paintings and art projects and the children described what they were seeing in the different pictures. Some paintings represented a replica of different objects or nature scenes and it was very easy to describe what it was, compared to some art work that required a second look at it, a deeper and more thoughtful approach. That kind of art is called Abstract Art. The main characteristic of abstract art is that it has no recognizable object. Some abstract artists use colours, shapes and different objects to capture their emotions and subconscious thoughts.
The children used different materials to create abstract art. Although all the children had access to the same materials, each work of art looks very unique and has it's own little story behind it.
