then color field painting... "The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." Hans Hofmann
When the color wheel is complete children can practice what they have just learned by making a color field painting in the tradition of Hans Hofmann. They are amazed by the variety of colors they can create using only red, yellow and blue. The rectangles represent the primary colors. They are placed on or near complimentary color. Hans Hofmann was influential as an artist and as a teacher. Children are amazed that he painted like this when he was grownup!
