Warmup 
"The luscious watercolor illustrations in War of the Blink(Locarno Press, 2017_, Michael Nicoll Yahgulannaas's new graphic novel, convey a story that was told bu the Haida people "long before there was a Canada or a United States."   Using his signature Haida manga style, a fusion of indigenous visual traditions from the Pacific Northwest and the graphic format of Japanese comics, Yahgulannaas translates oral history into a fluid, nonlinear reading experience, highlighting themes that feel surprisingly relevant to today's geopolitical standoffs."

Objective:  Students will create all over patterns inspired by the artwork of Klaus Kemp, the Diatomist.

Warmup 
"Perhaps you've never done much thinking about the beauty of algae, but the Victorians did.  Microscopists of the era used to arrange diatom -- single-cell organisms encased in jewel-like glass shells that likely date to the Jurassic Period __ into stunningly beautiful mosaics that resemble stained glass in miniature.  The last surviving diatomist is an Englishman named Klaus Kemp, who became fascinated with the practice as a teenager.  Because the Victorians left no records behind, Kemp had to figure it out for himself.  He's still at it today, supporting himself by selling his creations to a small but avid group of collectors." -NY Times

Week 12 Cy Twombly-Classical Themes-Visual Art-CDE

Week 12-Thursday

Standard 1. Observe and Learn to Comprehend

3.  Knowledge of art vocabulary is important when critically analyzing works of arts

B.  Use domain-specific vocabulary relating to symbolism, genre, and performance technique in all art areas (DOK 1-2)

Objective: Students will identify classical themes in all art areas and explain a theme used in CY Twombly's artwork.

Warmup 

"Twombly's representations of the four seasons are typical to his production of the late 1980s and 1990s in which light has become a principal theme.  His prominent use of white echoes that of French Impressionists such as Claude Monet (1840-1926) for whom it was an important ingredient in the depiction of light.  A series of nine paintings, Untitled 1988 (Cy Twombly Gallery, Houston), portraying the green reflective surgaces of a watery pool recalls Monet's celebrated paintings of his water garden at Giverny, France created between 1899 and 1926.  Plant life and the sea also recur in Twombly's imagery of this period.  A ginle work is frequently made up of several parts, as in Quattro Stagioni which is subtitled A Painting in Four Parts.  The four seasons as symbols of the natural cycles of birth and death are a classical theme in poetry, music and painting.  In Twombly's Quattro Stagioni strong colours evoking the brilliance of the Mediterranean light are combined with scrawled poetic fragments from several sources.  After pre-priming the canvases with cream-coloured gesso, the artist pinned them to the wall and applied individual colours, allowing the paint to dribble down in long, vertical lines.  Autunno, or autumn, represents the third season of the year.  The idea for the cycle began with this season, inspired by the wine harvest in Bassano in Teverina."

Week 11-Thursday

Objective: Students will review the work of Matthew Paladino and determine the use of the term conceptual to describe artwork.

Warmup 

“The darker content is usually influenced by a mix of current and historical events. I don't start with the mindset that I'm going to make a piece dark. I think it all gets consumed then expelled through the work. In an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of people, I try to observe their actions at their worst as well as their best. There are hard truths in there. I feel myself having to sit with it a while, trying to put myself in the mind of the offender and the victim. But if you spend too much time there, it starts to eat away at you. So then I try to untangle it from my consciousness, which making art helps to do. The darker stuff I try to be careful with, especially when dealing in real life events. My hope is I’m respectful when going down these ugly rabbit holes. They’re not my stories, and these things really happened to people, so I try not to get too emotionally self indulgent or fetishistic. But something about it draws me in, and that’s the cycle that ensues.” -Matthew Palladino, Interview by Gabe Scott, Juxtapoz

Conceptual-relating to or based on mental concepts

Review the artwork of Matthew Palladino, the posted quote from an interview with him, and the definition for the word conceptual.  Using a Perfect 3 Sentence Answer, explain what you think it means for artwork to be conceptual.

Objective:  Students will identify the elements of art and principles of design that make the work of Katrin Fridriks successful.

Warmup

The intensely variegated and supremely balanced work of Icelandic artist Katrin Fridriks conveys messages far beyond the abstract relationship between material and surface. To describe her paintings as contemporary Abstract Expressionism is insufficient, negligent in the recognition and analysis of its many applied sciences. Ceaseless in her exploration of form, she maintains a devout connection with the Earth, as well her own mind and body. An expert at extracting the elements of her environment, Fridriks assimilates the earth’s natural phenomena, allowing various aspects to be absorbed somatically. After lengthy preparation and contemplation, a series of swift and carefully choreographed movements serve as a transcendental projection of converted energy into color and structure. Such application of these gestures summon strength, athleticism, endurance and precision. The sum of the parts not only brings a picture into focus, but demonstrates the process as an event itself.  -Gabe Scott, Juxtapoz
