Artist of the Week- M. C. Escher

A wonderful mathematician and creative artist, Escher is well known for his "Metamorphosis" images and his "impossible shapes" images. He was influenced, in part, by the ornate tile work he saw in Islamic architecture- like the Alhambra.

Here are some examples of his work.....

POSTING the Paintings, and GRADE SHEETS

Great work on completing the Painting!
Please post images of the entire painting and details of your painting, then answer these questions about your work.

 1. What was your color scheme? post a photo of your color scheme diagram if you want.

2. Show where you used wet to wet, dry brush, tints and shades.

3. Take photos to show where you used VALUE and contrast to make EMPHASIS. Explain what you did with paint to make that area stand out. (tints, shades, complementary colors, or other ideas?)


Here is a copy of the grade sheet for the painting part of the Project...

PAINTING Your Patterns

PAINTING WITH COLOR


Here are your directions....
 
STEP #1. Use your color grid to decide which colors to use in your painting. Choose a color scheme and collect 9 colors that fit the scheme...paint the 9 colors into a "grid".

STEP # 2  Seal your pencil lines, by painting the patterns with CLEAR ACRYLIC MEDIUM


STEP #3  "Stain" your patterns with one of the colors in your color scheme.... BE SURE you can see the pencil lines through the color layer.

STEP #4  Apply your  colors to your pattern AND use these variations:
    Tints of them
    Shades of them
    neutralized (no saturation) version of them (add black, add white, or mix complements)

and use these painting techniques:
    Solid color
    Wet to wet blending (smooth)
    drybrush techniques (visual texture)

ISLAMIC ART
Influenced partly by a religious "ban" on human and animal imagery in their art, Islamic art explores "all over" decoration, calligraphy and use of natural objects (shapes) used to make patterns.

About Picasso....

A very important part of learning the history of art is knowing about Pablo Picasso....

WHY IS HE IMPORTANT?

Picasso is one of the few (two) artists who helped CHANGE the idea of "what is art?"  He helped "invent" cubism, which lead to the creation of what we consider "MODERN" or abstract art.

1. Picasso was a gifted, adventurous, confident artist, who took risks with his art.

2. Picasso created his artwork in response to his life, feelings and the world around him.

3. Picasso's work was a HUGE influence on artists, even years later.

His Early work

This painting was created by Picasso when he was just 15 years old..... he was very talented and skilled at such a young age.

Science and charity. Barcelona, 1897

restoring the painting in 1970....

Picasso's artwork changed many times as he developed as an artist...

Several examples of these changes are:

The Blue Period...

The Rose Period

Family of Saltimbanques

CUBISM

Still Life with a Bottle of Rum, 1911

UPSIDE DOWN Picasso

A great Right Brain drawing! 

Recreate this drawing- even the border- by drawing it UPSIDE DOWN! That way your LEFT brain can't understand it and interfere with the "drawing as you see" process.

Here is the image....

iPad Critique

2. What are the three areas of EMPHASIS? What makes them get your attention?

Amazing Lines of Durer

Durer used his training as a metal smith when he created this engraving. Each line of the image was carved into a metal plate, then the entire image was printed. Durer was able to make multiple copies of this image to sell.

Look how his lines create FORM and movement in the image.

See more about Durer here @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer

And more about the engraving here, @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melencolia_I

Here are several details of the print to make it easier for you to explore the image and see his use of lines and marks.

First, here is the entire print-called "Melencolia" (created in 1514).

Here are some (actually LOTS) of details....
