A Positive Perspective! For this workshop we will talk about the concept of perspective. The students will lay down to look up at certain objects and stand up on a stool to look down at those same objects and will be asked to point out the differences in how they look. We will look at examples from different pieces of art. We will then attempt to create our still life’s (we will also go over that a still life is a scene that you look at then try to create on paper) from two different ways… laying down and standing up.

Absolutely Abstract! Students will start by learning the term “abstract”, visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. They will be asked to guess what it means and then come to the conclusion that it means something that doesn’t look like something real. We will then discuss the painting style of painter Jackson Pollock and how “action painting” uses your whole body to paint and how you can still have a beautiful painting by never touching the paper with your paint brush. Then we will discuss the use of large shapes and areas of color often used by Mark Rothko and how his style of painting (because there are many different styles) is different from Jackson Pollock. Examples will be shown and then we will begin.

Mobile Mania! Students will look at the artists Alexander Calder and discuss what a mobile is? Has anyone ever seen one before, what things can make up a mobile, etc. For the first part of the workshop we will be making what will go on our mobile (shapes, pictures, drawings) and then we will be attaching them to our mobile structure for the second half of the workshop.
