Art classes at the studio: Learning from the masters

For the last project, students created an artwork influenced by what they learned during the session.

Art classes at the studio: Learning from the masters, Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Friedensreich  Hundertwasser (1928 – 2000) was an Austrian architect, painter, ecologist and visionary.  The first time I came across his artwork is when I saw a book about him by Harry Rand (Taschen publisher) at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa this summer. I was attracted by the vibrancy of his colour on the cover.

For this collage, students focused on common themes used in his work such as spiral, "lollipop" trees, drop of water shape.

Art classes at the studio: Learning from the masters, Joan Miró

This week, students finished a project on Joan Miró

After looking at photographs of Joan Miró's artwork, students age 6 to 10 were asked to draw "people" in the same style.

Students age 11 to 13 made a drawing (which had to include a focal point) in the style of the artist.
