GIRL WITH RAINBOW FAN PAINTINGS
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?"
Lesson Activities
1. Use rainbow order (ROY G BIV; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) to fill in the positive space (foreground) of the rainbow fan paintings
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
2. Set Up Studio Area (oil pastels, water buckets, tempera paint)
Lesson Activities
1. Add highlights (reflective light, light source) to the subject matter (rainbow fan) of the rainbow fan paintings
2. Add shadows (cast shadow, shadow) to the negative space (background) of the rainbow fan paintings
3. Outline details (patterns, objects, rainbow fan) in the positive space (foreground) of the Girl With Rainbow Fan Paintings

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. A Girl With A Watering Can (1876) Pierre-Auguste Renoir
2. Read Renoir And The Boy With The Long Hair by Wendy Wax

What colors do you see? Are the colors light or dark?"
Lesson Activities
1. Choose 12" X 15" Drawing Paper
2. Add three dimensional shapes (cylinder, pyramid, sphere) to compositional of arranged objects (watering can, flowers, cement) of watering can paintings

1. Retrieve Renoir Watering Can for Assigned Table
2. Watering Can (1905) Pierre-Auguste Renoir
3. Discussion Questions "What is a still life? Is it different from other forms of figurative work in the sense that it cannot move? Can you guess how many times of still life there are for three merits? How can artists create their own still life effectively? What was the inspiration for your art? Were you learning about a famous artist, a world culture, or a place or time in history? What materials did you use? What techniques did you try? What are you proud of in your artwork? What time do you do differently? What style is it? Were you using your imagination, memories, or observing from real life?"
