Space Paintings, artist Natalia Goncharova

Russian artist, Natalia Goncharova, painted what she thought space looked like. She used a lot of brown, gray, white, and black in her artworks.  Those are the neutral colors.

Your turn…Steps:

  1. Compare Goncharova’s paintings to the images from space. What are the differences? Similarities?
  2. Brainstorm what your outer space artwork will look like: asteroids, planets, astronauts- so much more!
