"If We Destroy Our Roots, We Cannot Grow"

Inspired by F. Hundertwasser, the Austrian artist:




The kids used colored pencils to create these. Wavy lines were the order of the day.

These were quite a bit of work because everything was first sketched using pencils, then outlined with colored pencils, then the pencil marks were erased, then everything was shaded and colored in. 

They needed a total of three breaks (one was a dance break) before they were able to get through it all! But I'm glad they finished them and now don't they look lovely!?    

Plus, we went online to learn more about the artist and the kids had a lot to say about his other works. They liked his colors and shapes, and loved his quote about lines:


"The straight line leads to the downfall of humanity."


Thank you Kathy Barbro from Art Projects for Kids for this fun art project!
