Black and white abstract Album Art- Criteria & Objectives

• Students will pick a song and then base a Black & White, non-objective painting evoking the rhythm from the song.• Students will use a sheet of 11 x 11 in. tag-board, black and white

acrylic/tempura paint, brushes, water, paper towels, and graphite for an under-drawing.• Students compositions/artwork should be non-objective. A non-

objective artwork does not depict identifiable objects. You can use geometric shapes, lines, and anything else that does not resemble an object in the real world.• Student’s artworks must use a full range of five different values, and

some kind of repetitive rhythmic pattern.• The objective of this lesson is to react, translate, and depict the

rhythm of a song as visual rhythm using value , geometric abstraction, and the principle of space.
