CDE Visual Art 7th Grade 1-1-A

Week 7-Thursday

Standard 1. Observe and Learn to Comprehend

1. The characteristics and expressive features of art and design are used in analyzing and synthesizing the meaning in works of art

A.  Describe and demonstrate how characteristics and expressive features of art and design contribute to the aesthetic value of works of art (DOK 1-3)

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
