Adele Renault Inspired Pigeons

Learning Targets

I can...

Create an original Adele Renault Inspired Pigeon using painting techniques learned in class
Use iridescent colors (green, blue, purple), texture (feathers, soft, rough), and value (lightness, darkness) based on Belgium Artist (1988-Present) Adele Renault
Use scientific connections (urban ecosystems, tropic habitats, navigational abilities) and design principles (composition, repetition, balance) based on Contemporary Art
Define Iridescent (showing colors that seem to change when seen from different angles)

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. Holy Portland Pigeon (2018) Adele Renault

2. Read Dr. Coo and the Pigeon Protest by Sarah Hampson

3. Discussion Questions "Do you think pigeons are a part of our natural ecosystem? How did the artist become interested in pigeons? Do you think artists create the style they paint in, or are artists something of an imitator, drawing from other artists? Does her work change your view of the world? How can we prevent countries from hunting certain species of bird? What can we do to improve the pollution problem in our country? Why does the artist paint massive works of art? How can artists contribute to environmental causes? What influential individuals was the artist inspired by? What other mediums has the artist worked in? How would you define art? What does art mean to you? What do you think an artist is?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose 12" by 12" Painting Paper

2. Draw foreground (pigeon), middle ground (feathers), and background (wallpaper) of pigeon paintings

Day Two, Art Start

2. Holy Racing Pigeon (2018) Adele Renault

3. Discussion Questions "What factors influenced the artist as a child that impacted her art career? Who are some of her contemporaries that influenced her art? What is the artists favorite art form? What are some characteristics of her artwork that sets it apart from other artists work? What is the symbolism found within her work? What are some indicators that prove she is an important Contemporary artist? What are some different types of art produced at different stages of her life? What were some major influences that contributed to her becoming a great artist? What makes you think that she is a contemporary artist?"

Lesson Activities

1. Add thin layers of paint to foreground (pigeon), middle ground (feathers), and background (wallpaper) of the pigeon paintings
