Abstract Design

• The third in the series is Abstract design.
  Abstract art is 20th century art containing
  shapes that simplify shapes of real objects to
  emphasize form instead of subject matter. You
  should plan on sketching a minimum of 4 thumbnail
  sketches in developing your composition. Your
  abstract art will be created using either pastels
  or oil pastels on colored construction paper.
