Folk Art Goes Abstract

Week 2 at the Co-op is complete. The elementary class learned about watercolor pencils today and we continued working on our folk art pieces from last week. We also looked at some contemporary folk art  from the following artists. These are their websites-

This is my Abstract Folk Art.  Notice the patterns.  I haven't finished coloring this drawing.
 I'll switch to the finished one as soon as it is complete.

They began an abstract folk art work that used doodle designs in combination with a folk art design to produce an abstract folk art piece with lots of patterns.

These are Abstract Folk Art works by 2 of my Middle School students. Aren't these exciting designs?
