I viewed the documentary and found it fascinating. Although it is not necessary for you to watch it, I would encourage you to see the film if you have the option and time.
Warm-up
Please cut four square pieces of paper to use during the warm-up.
Same as last week, we will be playing with different mediums, inspired by Sean Scully's stripe painting,
There is more than just patterns and color hues behind his work.
