UKRAINIAN FABERGE EGGS

Ukrainian Faberge Eggs

Learning Targets

I can...

Create a Ukrainian Faberge Egg using the Wax Resist Method learned in class
Use traditional colors (yellow, orange, green, black, red), line type (horizontal, vertical, diagonal), and implied texture (wood, fir, wheat) inspired by French Gold Smith (1846-1920) Peter Carl Faberge
Use design principles (repetition, movement, balance) relating to 13th Century Ukrainian Folk Art
Define Pysanka (egg decorated with designs using beeswax)

Day One, Art Start

1. Lilies of the Valley Egg (1898) Pater Faberge

2. Children's Book "Rechenka's Egg" by Patricia Polacco

3. Discussion Questions "Ukrainians decorated Easter Eggs, called pysanka. Easter Eggs were thought to protect homes from evil. What type of traditions or festivities do you have during the Easter holiday? What was the first Faberge egg known as? What colors are traditional Orthodox Easter eggs dyed? What specific meaning do you think this design has?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose 12" by 15" White Paper
2. Trace Egg Template lightly with pencil around the paper
3. Outline & Trace over egg template with Black Glue Bottle

Reminder:

Initials & Home Teacher on Back of Paper

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Ukrainian Faberge Egg for Assigned Table

2. NeoWhimsy Egg (2014) Nadia Russ

3. Discussion Questions "Pysanka- egg decorated with designs using beeswax. How did pattern, texture, and color symbolism of Faberge Eggs influence the splendor and behavior of Imperial Russia? How does this change our perspective about the artwork before us?"

Lesson Activities

1. Add line variation (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) to create patterns within the egg template

2. Use black glue bottles to outline the patterns (swirls, dots, stripes) inside the decorated egg

3. Add embellishments (acrylic gems, rhinestones, crushed pebbles) to Ukrainian Faberge Eggs

Day Three, Art Start

1. Retrieve Ukrainian Faberge Egg for Assigned Table

2. Set Up Studio Area (oil pastels, jewels, glue bottles)
