DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT The Zebras (1938) - A work of art that is usually based on an identifiable subject, but the artist leaves out the details, simplifies or rearranges visual elements. What is Abstract? Does anybody know what are in these pictures? How many Zebras are in this picture? Do they look like the zebras that you would see at the zoo? That is why this is abstract….it does not look just like the zebras you see at the zoo, there are no manes, there tails are different, and their shapes are different. This is how Victor “saw” zebras when he was painting them….and even though it is abstract….each one of you knew exactly what he was painting. The Zebras (1938) -

What we will be doing Make different arrangements using
your pre-cut geometric shapes until you find a design and optical effect you like.
Then glue the shapes in place on the mounting paper.
Be sure to try stacking the shapes to create an optical illusion.
