STIPPLING STILL LIFE

Stippling Still Life

Learning Targets

I can...

Create an original Stippling Still Life using drawing techniques learned in class
Use primary/secondary/intermediate colors (red, yellow, blue; green, purple, orange), basic
shapes (geometric, organic), and line variation (hatched marks, broken dashed lines) inspired by Post-Impressionist Artist (1859-1891) Georges-Pierre Seurat
Use four shading techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, blending, stippling) and design principles (harmony, rhythm, movement) based on Pointillism
Define Stippling (a drawing, painting, or engraving using numerous small dots)

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884-1886) Georges Seurat

2.Read Sunday with Seurat by Julie Merberg

3. Discussion Questions "How would you interpret the objects in front of you? Would you draw them as detailed as possible? Or would you choose to represent them accurately? What is an illusion? In what ways can artwork create illusions? How can the development of a strong knowledge base aid in the ability to create illusions in artwork? Do you know what emotion the artist was trying to show? What do you notice about the painting?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose 12" by 15" Drawing Paper
2. Choose one fruit (apple, pear, orange) to draw the basic shapes (triangle, circle, rectangle, oval) of the stippling still life
3. Add horizon line in the background (table, folded drapery, wallpaper) to separate from the foreground

Reminder:

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Stippling Still Life for Assigned Table

2. The Eiffel Tower (1889) Georges Seurat

3. Discussion Questions "Where was Seurat born? What was Seurat's first major work to show the effects of his studies in optical theory? What did Seurat help to found? Seurat spent all of the winter of 1884 working on which large canvas? What was the artistic technique devised by Seurat? Which was 'A Sunday on La Grande Latte' exhibited in? When did the Pointillism art movement take place? What characteristics made Pointillism painting unique? What modern-day technology is similar to Pointillism painting? Who is considered the founder of the Pointillism art movement?"

Lesson Activities

1. Use primary/secondary/intermediate colors (red, yellow, blue; green, purple, orange) to fill in the positive space (dishes, fruit, glasses) of the stippling still life

2. Use primary/secondary/intermediate colors (red, yellow, blue; green, purple, orange) to fill in the negative space (dishes, fruit, glasses) of the stippling still life

3. Use felt tip pens to add four shading techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, blending, stippling) to Stippling Still Life
