What do you see? I see a painting that might not be completed because it has paint drips coming down from a greenhouse. It’s actually not any house but one that has the address 6801 Maple Road, which is the tile of the artwork. The top of the house is particularly interesting and distinct. The painting is a finished work of art and the application of paint was the artist’s decision. Because of the painting technique, the artist lets the viewer not only see the house but to feel it.
The sketch prompt is to imagine your home is painted inspired by the artist. Sketch how it might be portrayed with the feeling of an unfinished surface and a few paint drips.
Time to TALK. Looking closely, you can see a shadow of the US flag on the side of the house? Why do you think the artist painted the flag? Was it already painted on the house? Was the flag flying in the yard? Does it change the way you think about the painting when you see the image of the American flag?
