5. Abstract
Painting
In the last lesson we learnt that abstract painting can use colour and shape to show the world in a different way
We learnt that colour and shape can help show our environment, the things we use and how we feel
Lets focus on shapes for now and think about the kinds of shapes we know…

6. cone circle rectangle Here are some shapes you may know…
triangle
octagon
hexagon
circle
diamond
Oval
cylinder
cube
cone
rectangle
square
Let’s name some of these shapes…

Many of these shapes can reflect and remind us of things such as…

8. To create an abstract painting of an object we should think about…
The kind of shapes we see on the object
What colours can we use to describe the object
We may use warm, bright and playful colours if an object is fun to use
Let’s start by thinking about this cell phone…

9. We want to focus on using the basic shapes to create an outline drawing…
What basic shapes can we see in this cell phone?

10. I have chosen to use primary and secondary colours such as…blue, green, purple and orange
The next step is to fill our shapes with colour…

11. Let’s look at another piece of technology we may be familiar with…
Using primary and secondary colours are great because they look very different to one another
I’ve chosen these colours to describe how playful and fun technology can be
Now we have an abstract painting that shows a cell phone in a very different way…
Let’s look at another piece of technology we may be familiar with…
I have chosen to use primary and secondary colours such as…blue, green, purple and orange

12. Here we have a laptop. To create an abstract painting of this let’s find some basic shapes to create an outline drawing…

13. Now we have an abstract painting that shows a laptop in a very different way…
Let’s look at another piece of technology we may be familiar with…
I have decided to use red, blue, yellow, orange and green…
Now we add colour to show how playful and fun a laptop can be to use…

14. Here we have a playstation portable
Here we have a playstation portable. To create an abstract painting of this let’s find some basic shapes to create an outline drawing…

15. Now we add colour using primary and secondary colours…
I have also left part of my painting white. This is so you can clearly see the shape of the buttons…
In this painting I have decided to use red, blue, yellow, orange, green and violet…

16. Abstract Painting To abstract these objects we:
First looked for basic shapes on the object to help draw an outline of the object
Then we used colour to describe the object
We used warm, bright and playful colours to describe how fun the object is to use

17. Now that we know about how to abstract something…
Let’s recap on what we have learnt so far…

18. So what have we learnt so far?
If we looked carefully, we can see many things in the world have basic shapes
To abstract an object we need to think about the kinds of shapes an object has

We can use colour to describe an object and how we feel about it
You can show a painting of an object in a very different way

19. In the next lesson we will explore “the kinds of technology people use”
