Looking for an art project that is sure to "Wow!" This lesson shows artists how to create a mixed media composition of a Fauvist-inspired animal. This lesson helps artists to explore using bold, vibrant colors as the “Wild Beasts” did. Artist are challenged to replace gray scale values with a new rule of color! Additionally, artists explore a mixed media approach to render implied textures to suggest the fluffy fur of an animal of choice! What materials will be needed?
