4th Grade: Yilmabasar Hands

Students learned about Sedef Yilmabasar's unique style of textile art. Born and creating art in Istanbul, Turkey Sedef lives life by the moto of love what you do or do what you love. Inspired by her cats she uses her Fashion Designer background to paint and create multi-layered works that use bold and striking colors. Students were inspired by her work but also by Contour art, using specifically "blind contour," students looked more at their hands than the work and used one line to convey their hands.
