We have just completed our Hundertwasser Illuminated Landscape project, in which students abstracted the forms of a landscape drawing to warp and twist it into something dream-like and surreal. They then applied their knowledge of color theory to working the drawing in oil pastels, finally using gold paint to add small areas of emphasis.
I love introducing Hundertwasser to students who have never seen his work before. Without fail there are awed “ooohs” and “ahhhhs” throughout the room. These oil pastels, however, give me the same emotion.
I love looking at these, the combination of saturated color, black background and gold highlights is so rich!
