Australian Aboriginal Painting
In this lesson we study the art of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, artists whose work concentrated on the use of abstract form. The project activity involves creating a form using flexible wire which is fastened to a wooden base. After the student creates an interesting form by bending and looping the wire, a nylon stocking is stretched over the wire and over the base. The stocking is then coated with several coats of acrylic primer and then a glue and water mixture, allowed to dry, and then painted with multiple coats of acrylic paint in a design of the student's choosing.
