Uncertain
Title:
Valley with Fir
Artist
Henri-Edmond Cross
Reflection Art Materials
Crayon rubbings, stickers, and collage
Reflections
While viewing this artwork, I was struck by the two contrasting colors and reminded of a yin yang symbol. I was also inspired by the painting technique using dabs of color to create an image.
Interpretations:
I made crayon rubbings with contrasting colors by pressing tissue paper onto a patterned coffee mug. After drawing a ying yang, I tore the patterned tissue paper to reinforce the design and used stickers to represent the people in my life.
DIY Options
Finger paint or stamping to simulate the original art style. Consider color contrast and current themes in your life.
