For this painting project, the third and fourth period students looked at an out of focus upside-down artwork and painted what they saw. Each day the painting got more in focus and at the end of the week, the students saw the source painting clear and right side-up for the first time! It was a big surprise when students discovered that the image was upside the entire time!
Students did an amazing job mixing colors, as they were only given Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, and White to create all the vivid colors in this painting.
The original art work was made by André Derain: Pont de Charing Cross, London, in 1906. Try to guess which image is the original!
