Looking for Patterns
PART 1, Researching what patterns looks like and WHY they are made...
Gather three examples of patterns from EACH of these "categories".
• Post the examples to your blog, WITH a link back to the source....
• Write one or two sentences describing what you found interesting about each of the examples. Was it the SHAPE, COLOR, VALUE, LINE, TEXTURE or FORM that you liked?
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.
See some examples here @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_art
and here @ http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/orna/hd_orna.htm
WILLIAM MORRIS
An influential English artist and designer. He helped start the ARTS AND CRAFTS movement of 1880, which renewed interest in a simple way of life and respected hand made objects.
Morris is best known for his design work, including wallpaper and textile designs.
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
American architect.
Wright designed not only the buildings, but the interiors and all decorating as well.
Wright was hugely influential as a MODERN architect.
His buildings responded to their setting, materials they were made of, and the FORM and SPACE they create.

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.
Picasso's artwork changed many times as he developed as an artist...
Several examples of these changes are:
The Blue Period...
The Rose Period
CUBISM
GUERNICA

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....
