by Melinda and Jonas Here is your chance to become a famous artist. Just follow these directions of the painting. Put the paper horizontally. Draw a square in pencil about 2/3 of the paper in the middle. Then paint the square bright red orange color. Wait till it dries. The main shapes are shaped like big peanuts (the kind that you eat.) They are also the same shape. The round circular parts of the shapes are touching. The part in between looks like a candle flame. The shape on the bottom is light blue with a little bit of white mixed in it but not all the way. The other one on the top is light beige-gray. They also take up most of the picture. The shapes touch all edges of the picture. Have a great career as an artist! |
by Jonas and Melinda Our partners at Walter Hays tried to paint the painting we described. They did well drawing the square that takes up 2/3 of the paper, and also painting it bright red-orange. They drew shapes like peanuts, made them touch, and made the part in the middle look like a candle flame. They also made the bottom peanut the right color. Even though we didn't tell them, they left the rest of the painting around the square white. The beige grey shape on the painting was dark grey and there wasn't any beige in it. We could have told them to mix mostly white with a little brown and yellow to make beige. Also we should have told them that it was mostly beige. The peanuts were much too small. They didn't follow the directions that they were supposed to make the peanuts touch the edges of the square. We should have said they touch the edges of the inside of the square. We think we should switch some sentences around. We also forgot to say that the peanuts should be in the red-orange square. Also, we should have said that the rest of the painting was white. The name of our painting is Louisenberg #2. The artist that made it is Tony Smith. It is in a private collection in New York. It was made with oil on canvas between the years 1953-1954. |
