Frank Stella - Abstract Sculptures

After seeing Frank Stella's huge abstract sculptures at the new Whitney Museum (NYC), I knew I had to teach my students his work. It was so awesomely overwhelming that I couldnt stop thinking about it.

Our students looked at his work and discussed a bit about abstract art and what the artist is trying to convey through lines, colors and shapes. 




Students created their own mini- abstract sculptures
