As a way of introducing and teaching different art we discuss an new artist every month and create a piece of art inspired by the artist. My co-teacher and I chose the following eight artists for our art appreciation:
- Jackson Pollock
- Edvard Munch
- Paul Ranson
- Gustav Klimt
- Salvador Dali
- Andy Warhol
- Leonardo Da Vinci
- Georgia O'Keeffe
Below is a picture of how the artist's art is displayed in my room each month. In the picture Paul Ranson's is the artist we were studying for November.
After discussing the artist and reading about the different techniques the artist used the students create a piece of artwork and then the student's artwork is displayed in the window for the entire month. Below is two pictures of the artwork that the students created for Edvard Munch's The Scream and Paul Ranson's Apple Tree.
For Edvard Munch the students used oil pastels to create the sunset, water, and bridge that are in the background. A picture of the students "screaming" was added to replicate Edvard Munch's famous piece of art.
The students used special water color water and used markers to create an apple tree, sky, and grass. Then the students painted their drawing with water to create a water color effect.
The students' art that is not displayed is kept in file folders as shown below, and kept for an art portfolio that will be given to the students and parents at the end of the school year.
What artists have you studied in your classroom?
