by Adrian and Sunjay Here is how you paint the painting we are going to describe. Put the paper vertically. Make a kind of thick line at the bottom. Paint it in with red mixed with black paint. Then make an orange line at the middle of the paper. From the top of the rust line to the orange line paint it in with orange. Just above that draw a little rectangle with a border around it. Paint the rectangle blue, yellow, and black mixed together. And don't put too much black on the painting The border is also red mixed with black. My partner and I wish you very good luck. We hope you enjoy painting the picture we described. |
by Sunjay and Adrian These are the things the kids at Walter Hays did very well. They put a lot of the shapes and lines in the right place. They also picked a lot (but not all) of the right colors. The orange color line was correct. These were the things we could improve on. We could have said how much of each color to mix. We could have said how big the border was around the top rectangle. We could have said it touches the outside edges. The painting is named Blue over Orange and was painted by Mark Rothko. The media is oil on canvas, and the painting is 7 feet 2 inches by 6 feet 7 inches. Our painting was painted in 1956. You can find it at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. |
