Salvador Dali
Spanish artist Salvador Dali blended reality with fantasy in his works. Throughout his life, he created many paintings, graphic works, book illustrations, and designs for jewelry, and more. This project is inspired by a series of paintings Dali did focusing on elephants. We will use watercolor to paint the elephant's dream-like environment.
05
Jasper Johns
U.S. artist Jasper Johns is one of the leading pop artists of his time. He used everyday objects like newspapers and tin cans from his studio to create the United States flag and other collage-type pieces. He'd choose easily identifiable symbols like letters and numbers to create his masterpieces. His alphabet painting inspired this art project. We will use crayons and markers to draw and color six letters.
