Your class project, is to Choose a tapestry or fabric from a specific era or culture that speaks to you. Based on the tapestry's colors, curate a unique color palette for your abstract painting project.

You can choose to include the original colors or adapt them to suit your artistic vision. Once your abstract artwork is complete, take a moment to reflect on how the historical tapestry's colors influenced your creative process.

And definitely come back and share what you created. I can’t wait to see what you made!
