The Alma Thomas' Project

Alma Thomas was an African-American  painter and art educator best known for her colorful abstract paintings.

Thomas remains an influence to young and old as she was a cornerstone for the Fine Arts at Howard University, started a successful art career later in her life, and took major strides during times of segregation as an African-American female artist. Thomas believed that creativity should be independent of gender or race, creating works with a focus on accidental beauty and the abstraction of color.

Try to make a picture using the style of Alma Thomas. Her technique is to use small colored rectangles.
