2. Garden Party (2013) Jane Jones
3. Discussion Questions "What does a tulip look like? What can you tell about the stem and the leaves? What do the petals look like? How many kinds of flowers can you find in this painting? Do you think they all bloom at the same time, the way you see them? Can you find all three tulips in the painting? What type of flower would you be? How many flowers can you identify? Do you know the name of all these flowers? How many different colors can you find on this flower? Are some of the flowers more colorful than others? How would you describe the shape of the petals? Are the petals the same on each flower? Where did you find each flower? How would you describe it? How would you describe its stem, petals, or leaves? Is the flower part of something else or is it growing by itself? Are there more flower like this one nearby?"
Lesson Activities
1. Add shape variation (geometric, organic, free form) to the negative space (background) of the flower paintings
2. Use patterns (swirls, stripes, dots) to add a design to the negative space (background) of the flower paintings
3. Use color combinations (analogous, complementary, secondary) to blend patterns (swirls, stripes, dots) for the negative space (background) of the Tulip Paintings
Day Three, Art Start
1. Retrieve Tulip Paintings for Assigned Tables
2. Set Up Studio Area (paintbrushes, water bucket, tempera paint)
Lesson Activities
