Frank Stella Abstract Art



Second graders looked at many artworks by artist Frank Stella before creating these 3-dimentional patterned artworks. First they drew free-form lines on paper being careful to keep many open spaces and filling the paper. Each space created by the overlapping of lines was filled with a pattern. After all the spaces were filled, the students cut into the design, staying on the original lines (from the free-form lines). Being careful not to cut completely through the design, they made several cuts. When the cutting is complete, staple the design down to a black piece of paper, bunching up the design as you go.
