  My painting students have been working all month on recreating a master works of art through the graphing technique. As a class we focused on the works of art that were created during Expressionism based on the color palette used during this movement. Expressionist painters shared one fundamental aim: to externalize their most profound feeling, which they did principally by distorting the forms of visible reality. Their color was bold, bright and symbolic. Many Expressionist painters implemented the cleaver use of complementary colors which has been a primary focus of our color mixing. Vincent Van Gogh was quoted as wanting to "express in red and green the terrible passions of human beings."

Take a look as some of the completed works of art originally created by Edvard Munch, Etnst-Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel. 

REcreated by Peter Clark, Kerri Colby and Paula Costa.
