Non objective Painting with Tints and Shades
Gallery
About this Project
Third Grade looked at the Blue Period paintings of Pablo Picasso. He used one color to paint these sad paintings. When an artist uses one color and many tints and shades of that color we call it a monochromatic painting. Third Grade learned that mixing white with a color made tints. Tints are lighter values of a color. When you add black you make a shade. Shades are a darker value of a color. Students selected a shape and painted that shape with many tints of one color. Then they repeated the shape with many shades of that color. They looked at the non-objective paintings of Sonia and Robert Delaunay. When the students' shapes dried, they cut them into pieces and arranged them on a background paper. They chose the same color or a new color to paint the rest of the painting with tints and shades.
