Art That Makes You Think: Abstracts and Inkblots

Danielle Germonprez, Art teacher, and Jeanette Zamora, Director of Communications and Marketing
If you have not visited the glass display cases in the Robert Nafie Administration Building, please make sure to stop by and check out the amazing student artwork! Kindergarteners learned about abstract art and oil pastels. They discovered abstract art is a work made with lines, shapes, and colors, and is not seen the same way by all audiences. Students looked at Kandinsky's "Evenement Doux" from 1928 and took turns explaining what they saw. With Kandinsky's work as inspiration, they explored oil pastels for the first time, noticing that they are sticky and can blend very well, creating abstract works of art!
 
Students from fourth and fifth grades created painted works of art which were inspired by psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach. Rorschach was an amateur artist who took his interest in perspective within art to medical school. While in school, he developed a psychological test called the Rorschach test. The test consisted of a set of ten inkblots and patients were asked to describe what they saw in each image. Responses to these images were meant to reveal aspects of their personality, motivations, and emotional states. Students created their own "ink blots" and titled them based on what they saw in their own work of art; then they asked three peers what they saw!
