MINIMALISMMinimalism: Minimalism is stark simplicity. Personal expression is kept to a minimum and the work of art is the meaning. A work of art does not refer to anything but itself.

Create a drawing that shows minimalism. Use simple shapes, lines and colors.

LettersCan you create an abstract work of art by repeating the same letter multiple times? Draw the letters in a blocky style. Repeat, turn, twist, rotate, flip or overlap the letters.

From the V-Series by Frank Stella

Irregular CanvasFrank Stella created artworks that were not confined to a square or rectangle canvas. The shape of the painting can be any shape you want.

In the spaces below, create a design or drawing within the shapes.

In the space below, draw a large irregular shape and use that as a space to create an abstract drawing or design.

A Thing Abstracted

Think of a creature, such as an animal or insect. Create a picture that shows the feeling or essence of the creature without actually drawing the creature. For example, an abstract picture of a bee could use lines that show the paths of a buzzing, flying bee. Colors used could be yellow and black.

MovementCreate an abstract artwork that shows the essence of a racetrack, water slide, roller coaster or something else with a lot of movement. Use colors, lines and shapes to show the idea, without actually drawing the place.

Frank Stella created this artwork inspired by a racetrack.

Inspired by BooksUse the space below to create an abstract artwork inspired by a book you like. Think of how shapes, colors, lines and designs could represent your chosen book. For example, if you were creating a picture about the Harry Potter series you could use the lightning bolt shape in your artwork.
