Art+Style

Here you will find the instructions for you last project of the year. There are 2 parts to this assignment, the short paper, and a piece of art using a medium of your choice. What's a medium you ask? The medium of an art work is what it's made of. So, for example, the medium used to create the Mona Lisa is oil paint.

First, choose one art style from the following list: 1. [|Expressionism] 2. [|Impressionism] 3. [|Cubism] 4. [| Fauvism] 5. [|Pointallism] 6. Surrealism

You will need to answer the following questions about your art style: 1. When was it being used and where? 2. Name 3 artists that represent the style. 3. Describe the style- what sets it apart from other styles? 4. Choose 1 artist from your style and select your favorite work of art by that artist. 5. Describe it by noting the following: medium used, size, title, year created. Also, please describe the painting to me, pretend I'm a blind person so be VERY descriptive. Use your art vocabulary, (line weight, value, color, texture, shape, form, space, balance, composition etc.) 6. Include the image you are going to recreate on your paper. Please list the title, size, date, artist and medium of the image. Please include this information in a pamphlet, brochure or a poster using Pages. Do not write a paper. Do not state the question and answer it. And, most importantly, USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!

Lastly: Choose your favorite art work by the artist in you chose in the art style you selected and recreate it using the medium of your choice. You could use collage, pastels, (oil and chalk), markers, watercolors, acrylic paints, tempera paints, colored pencil, pen and ink, photography etc. This art work should be no smaller than 5x7inches and no bigger than 8x10inches. Make sure you give credit to your artist by writing their name and the name of the art work some where on your image.
