Girl With Rainbow Fan Paintings
Learning Targets
I can...
- Create an original Girl With Rainbow Fan Paintings using drawing techniques learned in class
- Use color theory (color order, color mixing, color wheel), line types (horizontal, vertical, diagonal), and value (tints, shades) inspired by Impressionist Painter (1841-1919) Pierre-Auguste Renoir
- Use painting techniques (layering, overlapping, cropping) and design principles (gradation, repetition, emphasis) based on Impressionism
- Define Rainbow Order (ROY G BIV; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)
Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. Girl With Fan (1879) Pierre-Auguste Renoir
2. Read Renoir And The Boy With The Long Hair by Wendy Wax
3. Discussion Questions "What are some ways you can use a fan (cool off, hide facial expressions, point)? If you're a warrior and your fan was made of hard metal, how could it be useful? What role do the directions on the fans play? How could the decorations on this fan be helpful to the warrior in a symbolic way? What do you think of when you hear the word "Impressionism"? What types of art do you believe to be created in this culture? Why do artists paint or draw fans? What other familiar objects do artists like to paint or draw?"
Lesson Activities
1. Choose 12" X 15" Drawing Paper
2. Add three dimensional shapes (organic, free form, geometric) to the composition of the arranged objects (fan) for the rainbow fan paintings
3. Add a horizon line in the negative space (background) to separate the foreground, clouds, and individual for the rainbow fan paintings
Day Two, Art Start
1. Retrieve Girl With Rainbow Fan Paintings for Assigned Table
2. Lady With Fan (1880) Pierre Auguste Renoir
3. Discussion Questions "Is there a distinct mood? hat do you notice about the colors, shapes, lines, and textures? Does it make you think of anything? Does anything jump out at you? Does this work create a strong emotional response? What did the artist say about the piece? What events are happening in the world at the time this piece as created? What are the five elements of impressionism? Does this work introduce a thought, concept, idea, or make you think on a higher level? Why did the artist do it that way? What was the artist trying to convey?"

2. Use rainbow order (ROY G BIV; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) to fill in the negative space (background) of the rainbow fan paintings
3. Use shape stamps to add patterns (floral, silk, wood) and texture plates (wood, leather, metal) to the Girl With Rainbow Fan Paintings
Day Three, Art Start
1. Retrieve Girl With Rainbow Fan Paintings for Assigned Table
