Patty Talbert Nonobjective Colors Wheels
Learning Targets
I can...
- Create an original Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels using drawing techniques learned in class
- Use line types (horizontal vertical diagonal), value (highlights shadows tints tones) and space (positive negative) inspired by African American Artist (1964-Present) Patty Talbert
- Use art element: color (achromatic analogous complementary cool/warm colors monochromatic polychromatic primary secondary tertiary) and design principles (repetition composition gradation) based on Public Art
- Define Color Wheel (a circular diagram that shows the relationship between colors arranged by the chromatic relationship)
Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. Sideways (2009) Patty Talbert
2. Read Optics: Or A Treatise Of The Reflections, Refractions, Inflections, and Colors Of Light by Sir Isaac Newton
3. Discussion Questions "How do these colors, patterns, and textures celebrate the heritage of the artist? How does this style of painting bring honor to the ancestors of the artist and continue to have a modern relevance for the viewer? What are some color harmonies that you encounter in daily life? What color theory does your personality agree with? Is color theory important in art? Can artists create interesting artwork without using color? What is the purpose of a color wheel? Why is a color wheel organized in a specific way? How does adding these bold black lines change the way colors look next to each other? How does this color look different to another color? Did you know the artist was a self-taught artist whose work is rooted in her heritage and personal expression?"
Lesson Activities
1. Choose 12" X 15" Drawing Paper
2. Draw three line types (horizontal vertical diagonal) for the positive space (foreground, middle ground) of the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
3. Outline three line types (horizontal vertical diagonal) for the positive space (foreground, middle ground) of the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
Day Two, Art Start
1. Retrieve Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels for Assigned Tables
2. Reflections 1 (2001) Patty Talbert
3. Discussion Questions "What is abstract art? What do you think abstract means? Can you recognize anything in this painting? What emotion is being conveyed in this painting? What does this artwork remind you of? What do you think this work of art is made of? How would you describe the pattern in this artwork? What does art mean to you? What ideas, concerns, or objectives have motivated your own work? How would you describe our artistic style? What artistic movements or artists have influenced you? What sets you apart from other artists? What does this painting reveal about the personality of the artist? What events were happening in the world at the time when this artwork was created? What colors are prominent throughout the piece? What was the artist known for?"
Lesson Activities
1. Use drawing techniques (contour outline continuous) to add basic shapes (geometric organic free form) to the positive space (foreground, middle ground) of the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
2. Use drawing techniques (contour outline continuous) to add basic shapes (geometric organic free form) to the negative space (background) of the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
3. Use drawing techniques (contour outline continuous) to add details (patterns, repetition, designs) to the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
Day Three, Art Start
1. Retrieve Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels for Assigned Tables
2. Set Up Studio Area (pencils, erasers, colored chalk, chalk)
Lesson Activities
1. Use color combinations (intermediate, analogous, complementary) to fill in the positive space (foreground, middle ground) of the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
2. Use color combinations (intermediate, analogous, complementary) to fill in the negative space (background) of the Patty Talbert Nonobjective Color Wheels
3. Add design details (geometric shapes, border, patterns) to the positive space (foreground, middle ground) of the Patty Nonobjective Color Wheels
