JASPER JOHNS INSPIRED NAMES

Jasper Johns Inspired Names

Learning Targets

I can...

  • Create a Jasper Johns Inspired Name using drawing techniques learned in class

1. Numbers In Color (1959) Jasper Johns
2. Read Where Is Jasper Johns by Debra Pearlman
3. Reflective Discussion "Jasper John did not take any formal art classes but he knew he wanted to be an artist. After returning from the war, Johns began to experiment with the popular artistic style called Abstract Expression. Johns painted objects that everyone could recognize including flags, numbers, targets, and maps. He created more then just paintings but a message about finding new meaning in the things we see hundreds of times but ignore."
