Project Description
Goals
Learn about the elements of art and design
Learn how to view, think, and incorporate inspiration from art and artists.
Create an idea collage based on elements of art and design.
We are artists, but how does an artist develop ideas and projects? Explore mixed media art materials, art history and techniques to bring your ideas to life for grades 6-8. Part one will explore the elements of art and design through collage making, and artists Henri Matisse and Bisa Butler. Part two explores drawing from observation and imagination using nature as inspiration while discovering artists Max Ernst, Ellsworth Kelly, and Claude Monet. Part three brings it all together through mixed media material explorations that explore the work of Vanessa German, Gerhard Richter, and Julie Cockburn.
