GUSTAV KLIMT, 1862-1918

Fulfillment or The Embrace, 1909, oil on canvas

Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter and a leading figure in the Vienna Secessionist art movement. This group of artists rejected the confines of academic tradition in favor of experimentation and expressive use of the formal language of art. Their work was often patterned and decorative.

EDOUARD VUILLIARD

1868-1940

Vuillard belonged to a group of late 19th century French artists called the Nabis. Nabi means prophet in Hebrew and Arabic. They chose an appropriate name since they were leaders in a movement in a new style of painting that drew from Impressionism but emphasized non-realistic color and bold and flattened pattern. They made representational but design- oriented work, recalling 19th century Japanese prints.

Visual Art 1Assignment: Portrait in Pattern

•Apply skills learned from previous lessons including modified contour drawing, proportion, positive and negative space.

•Concepts introduced: placement and proportion of the features of the head, creation and use of pattern in a portrait, analogous color scheme, transparent versus opaque application of watercolor medium (values in color)

•Students use handouts to practice proportion of head and features, practice drawing front and side view. Demo proportion on frontal view head. Demo watercolor wash using one color.

•After students practice drawing frontal and side views of heads, they will create a very light watercolor wash on paper surface using only one color. This watercolor wash will be used to trace final portrait from practice drawings. The color will then be used to identify the remaining split-complementary colors to be used in portrait and patterns. 

•Using Manila paper or newsprint and mirror, students draw their portraits using modified contour. Students draw themselves at least 3 times, on three separate pieces of newsprint making self-corrections each time. This will create a pattern and rhythm. Final drawing of head transferred onto 12 x 16 inch paper using light box or tracing paper.

•Students will use various patterns from sheets provided to accentuate the positive and/or negative space of the portrait. Patterns can be used to enhance the features of the portrait, patterns can overlap into negative to contrast the line portrait drawing. •Students after reviewing, analogous color scheme will apply this to portrait and to patterns.

•Students will use pen and ink to do final outline of portrait. •Show evidence of care and effort to produce a creative, original work of art

•Artwork clearly reflects the influence of artists from powerpoint such as Adriana Czernin, Edward Vuillard, Kahinde Wiley, Yinka Shonibare based on visuals displayed and discussed in class

•Artwork expresses a complete idea and is completed by due date:

Materials: White paper, 12 x 16 inches, drawing pencils, pen and ink, watercolor, texture resources, mirrors.
