Abstracts in Complementary Colours

This is a great lesson I'd really like to do again one day.  The idea came from Create Art With Me!

Students used a ruler to divide up their page, creating triangular sections. They then drew different directional lines in each section, painting each section using a combination of complementary colours. This actually took a lot longer for the kids to paint than I estimated so in future I would use smaller paper or allow a longer time for completion.
