Identify uses of art within one's personal environment
Do you have any art in your home or in your bedroom? Do you have a lamp that is shaped like a dinosaur or a unicorn? A designer made that.
We spent several weeks exploring buildings in art class. But everything so far has been about the outside. Today let's explore the inside of houses. The inside is certainly just as important!
Interpret art by identifying and describing subject matter.
Interpret art by identifying subject matter and describing details. Why do you think that the artist uses expressive colors? How would you feel if you lived in this town?
Expressionists were a group of artists that wanted to show their feelings about the things they painted, not just to make a copy of the things they saw in real life.
Franz Marc painted this picture of two blue horses. Are horses blue? No, but Franz Marc painted them blue to show the world how he felt about horses. He felt that they were special, almost magical creatures.
Wasilly Kandinsky painted these houses using vibrant colors, a lot like the paintings we looked at last week by Enest Kirchner. Do you see in the foreground of the painting the rocks colored purple, green and blue? And notice the beautiful sky in the background, i see pink, red, blue, green and yellow. Almost a rainbow sky. He must have loved painting skies very much.
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff painted this portrait of a woman sitting in a chair. When he painted this over 100 years ago, many people did not like it. They found it shocking that he used so many colors, and said, that's not what a person looks like. They didn’t appreciate his imagination and creativity. He didn’t listen to them and kept painting, and now his artwork hangs in museums all over the world and is loved by many.
When we paint our houses, we are going to use expressionist colors.
Create art that represents natural and constructed environments
Have you ever seen a beautiful house or tall skyscraper and thought "I would like to paint a picture of that"
Or maybe you have made up a dream house in your mind, and would like to share your idea with others.
Many artists show houses in their work. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner liked to paint houses uses very expressive colors. That means not real life colors, but joyful, interesting and exciting colors.
What colors do you see. Can you use beautiful colors to design a an imaginary or realistic house?
Can you add details like you drew last week?
Windows Door Roof Chimney Doorknobs Shutters Fence Flowers Garage
Artists are very creative people and can come up with lots of ways to make art, even if they don't have a lot of supplies!
Have you ever used something that isn't an art supply to make art? Maybe cardboard, masking tape, a sock, leaves...
This week we can explore that idea by making our very own clay! The best part is it only uses 2 ingredients that many people have at home, Flour and Hair Conditioner. Watch this video...
Recipe:
1/2 cup Flour (or cornstarch)
4 Tbl. Hair conditioner (or lotion)
If you enjoyed this activity, there are many other recipes for making clay. I found several by doing a google search for 'air dry clay recipes'.
