Frank Stella likes to create his art to depict the movement in sports. We studied one piece he did to show the movement in a formula 1 car race! This is his effort. Can you see the race cars burning around the track? (See http://www.nga.gov/kids/stella/stella2.htm# for the complete slideshow.)
We learnt that abstract art is like charades; you get some clues from the artist and have to work out what they are showing you. We learnt how to do this by using colour, texture, shape and 3d construction to show movement and emotion.
We used card and paint, with a number of different painting techniques, to create these pieces.
Can you guess what sport we are depicting? Use the clues in the colours and movement of the art to help you!
