About this School Project (Cedric Cox abstract art)
Students are learning about the Cincinnati artist Cedric Cox, as he is coming to visit our building this week for a presentation! Cedric Cox is very involved in the community. He makes abstract art on canvas, and also paints murals all over the city. We even have one of his murals in our outdoor learning space at Mariemont Elementary! Students watched a video of Cedric talking about his artwork and took a little field trip to look at his mural up close. They sponge painted the background of their paper and then drew an abstract line using white, gold or silver. They were encouraged to look at Cedric Cox’s artwork and add additional details to the abstract line, such as circles, flowers, houses, etc.
