(KG) Creating in the style of Brice Marden


Students learned about the work of Brice Marden by looking at and discussing the meaning of gestural abstraction in his art.
Brice Marden traveled in Thailand in the 1980s, where he became interested in Far Eastern
calligraphy and the art of the brush stroke.

Students used four different color pencils to create the
overlapping lines in their work.







Students learned how to use overlapping in their artwork to show that
something is in front or behind another object.

Students were encouraged to create overlapping lines using yarn.

We tried to hide the ends of the yarn.

  2. More yarn ideas! Great! I have a cabinet full of yarn.

    I wonder what would happen if I let the kids dip the yarn in paint first to create background lines. Hmmmm. I'll have to think about that one.
