by Emily and Mari This is how to paint our painting. The colors are peach, dark red, lighter red, and blackish-brownish. This is how to mix the colors. To make the border you use dark brown and black. For the dark red you will need red and some, not too much but some, black. For the light red use barely but some white, then the red. For the beige-peachy color you will need beige, a touch of orange, and a touch of yellow. That is how to mix our colors. The whole painting is a vertical rectangle. The blackish-brownish is for the small border all around. The middle it is only half as big. In the top there is a small light red horizontal rectangle coming to the whole border. In the middle there is a big dark-red horizontal rectangle coming to the half border. The bottom light red horizontal rectangle is smaller, surrounded by the bigger border. There is a small space between all the squares. The in between color is blackish-brownish. All the edges of the rectangles are blurred. Now you have painted our painting. |
by Mari and Emily This is our conclusion about our art. Here are the things Catherine, Julian, and Peter did right. They painted the border the right color. They also got the shape of the middle and top rectangles correct. The color of the top rectangle was right. Here are the things we could do better and the things we believe that they missed. We left out the section where to put the beige peachy color. We should have made it clearer that the bottom top rectangle was as big as the top rectangle. What we should have said was that they were the same size. Instead of saying that the middle rectangle is coming to the half border we should have said that its border is half the size. The real painting is Untitled by Mark Rothko. It is 69 by 50 inches big. It is hanging in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts. It was painted with oil on canvas. The Walter Hays students did a great job of painting our painting. |
