"An idea is our visual reaction to something seen - in real life, in our memory, in our imagination, in our dreams." --Anna Held Audette from the book, The Blank Canvas

Painting in the Style of Peter Doig
Canoe Lake
Oil on Canvas
1997
Peter Doig
Peter Doig is one of my favorite contemporary painters. He creates dreamlike scenes in his paintings, which evoke memories for the viewer. He also uses a distinct foreground, middle ground, and background in his paintings. The fifth grade students created dreamlike scenes in the style of Peter Doig by painting distinct color bands of foreground, middle ground, and background. The students also learned that cool colors are oftentimes used in the background, and warm colors are used in the foreground.
Very cool project! props on you for doing such an ambitious project and getting such great results
