LeRoy Neiman is best known for his brilliantly colored, stunningly energetic images of sporting events and leisure activities. Students viewed many examples of Neiman's art.
We also discussed and defined abstract expressionism. We talked about what makes something abstract and still recognizable.
Students collected images of their favorite sporting event from magazines and the internet.
Encourage students to think out of the box. Many students will want to find basketball or football images. Consider horse racing, Nascar, or boxing to make artworks more interesting.
Next the background image is painted using acrylic paint. Background images should be abstract like Nieman's works. After background is dry, images are glued on into place.
