HUNDERTWASSER HAUNTED HOUSES

HUNDERTWASSER HAUNTED HOUSES

Learning Targets

I can...

• Create a Haunted House using techniques learned in class
• Use geometric shapes (rectangle, triangle, square), form (two dimensional, three dimensional), and color (monochromatic, analogous)
• Make mathematical connections (geometric shapes, perspective, proportion) and use design principles (contrast, proximity, space) relating to Austrian Artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser
• Define Three Dimensional (object appearing to have width and height rather than being flat)

Lesson One

Day One, Art Start

1. Gummy Worms representing creepy crawlers (spiders, moths, beetles) found within abandoned houses
2. Yellow Houses. It hurts to wait with love, if love is somewhere else. (1966) Friedensreich Hundertwasser
3. Discussion Questions "What do you see in this picture? What do you see in this house? What do you think Friedensreich Hundertwasser meant by this quote: When we dream alone it is only a dream, but when many dream together, it is the beginning of a new reality."

Lesson Activities

1. Use THREE geometric shapes (rectangle, square, triangles) to create a three dimensional Hundertwasser House
2. Add house details (porch, chimney, window) to the roof, levels, and foundation of the house
3. Outline Hundertwasser House with a colored pencil, ink pen, or sharpie marker

Reminder:

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Hundertwasser Haunted House for Assigned Table
2. Ghosts In The House by Kazuno Kohara
3. Three Dimensional- object appearing to have width and height rather than being flat. Does your picture have space or distance? Does your picture have a horizon line, one point perspective, or background? How can we create the illusion of depth within our own Hundertwasser Haunted Houses?

Lesson Activities

1. Add finishing details (porch, chimney, window) to roof, levels, and foundation of the house
2. Finish outlining Hundertwasser House with a colored pencil, ink pen, or sharpie marker
3. Add Hundertwasser Motifs (onion domes, hidden faces, tiny windows) to mimic Modern Architecture

Day Three, Art Start

1. Retrieve Hundertwasser Haunted House for Assigned Table
2. Set Up Studio Area (water bucket, paintbrush, watercolor)

Lesson Activities

1. Finish adding Hundertwasser Motifs (onion domes, hidden faces, tiny windows) to mimic Modern Architecture
2. Add color (monochromatic, analogous) to ones three-dimensional ornate home
3. Add value (highlights, shadows) to final Hundertwasser Haunted House
