The document provides instructions for a painting assignment asking students to create an original painting in the style of the Fauves art movement, known for their use of bold, vibrant colors and emphasis on shapes. Students are asked to start with a sketch, then paint using thick brush strokes and wild, imaginative colors focusing on shapes and patterns rather than strict realism or copying other works. The subject is open but certain common subjects like hearts, words or logos are not permitted. Students should take their time and check in with the teacher when the sketch is complete before beginning to paint.
