Rothko: Color + Emotion
How delicious are the colors and compositions of these Mark
Rothko inspired chalk pastel drawings!?
To introduce the links between color and emotions, we read the story
"My Many Colored Days" by Dr. Seuss". We then made a mental list
of all the emotions we had felt during the day (tired when we woke up, excited
to be at school, happy hamburgers were for lunch, and so on). Whatever color we
felt we drew.
Our next step was
to talk about artists who use color to influence emotional responses from
a viewer. Enter...Mark Rothko!
Using chalk pastels on black construction paper we mixed and blended our Rothko
inspired works. WOW! I'm still getting goose bumps, they turned out so
stunning! I'm so proud!
