taught by Md. Sonia Hanson NBCT challenged her students with an Abstract Painting assignment over 4 weeks in which each student created a small abstract painting using multiple color blends. Over the course of the month the painting begins again on top of the old one yet preserving selected parts of the old painting to become integrated into the new one.

Susan C Price who challenged Ms. Sonia Hanson’s students to approach Abstract Painting as a dynamic process that recreates itself over and over. To demonstrate the point she chose a few of her own archival paintings in a series of “before” and “after” slides illustrating how patterns appear and disappear in the evolution of her compositions.

Mar 6 and Apr 3, 2019
On Wednesday April 3, 2019 artist, Susan C Price returned to Sonia Hanson’s 9th grade Art class at Maywood Center for Enriched Studies in Maywood, CA for a planned follow-up visit continuing her exploration of layered painting or Creative Destruction.
On March 6, 2019 Susan challenged the students to mix a range of out of the jar colors and paint a small canvas board with student led patterns or color fields. At her return visit on April 3, 2019 the students retrieved their original compositions and used them as the basis for a new painting.
If you liked what was already on the canvas board how willing were you to paint over it and take a chance on something new. If you disliked what was painted before what parts of the old painting will you allow to survive in the new one?
