MIXED MEDIA TRUMPETS

 Mixed Media Trumpets

Learning Targets

I can...

  • Create an original Mixed Media Trumpets using painting techniques learned in class
  • Use line variation (swirls, lightning bolts, clouds), color combinations (metallic, analogous, monochromatic), and value (lightness, darkness) inspired by American Jazz Pianist (1899-1974) Duke Ellington
  • Use design principles: movement (juxtaposition, focal point, visual) and design principles (movement, rhythm, emphasis) based on Jazz Orchestra
  • Define Movement (to create the impression of action in a work of art)

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. Sound of Trumpets (1910-1911) Wassily Kandinsky

2.  Read Duke Ellington by Andrea Davis

3. Discussion Questions "Why are trumpets considered an ancient instrument that holds symbolic meaning? what is the historical symbolism and meaning behind these trumpet paintings? Why have trumpets historically been made from brass? Why are some artist inspired to create art based on music? What types of lines and colors would someone most likely use to portray upbeat jazz music? What would you say is the connection between music and art? How can art represent music if you cannot physically hear a work of art?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose 12" X 15" Painting Paper

2. Add line types (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) to the positive space (trumpet) of the trumpet paintings

3. Outline positive space (trumpet) with metallic colors (silver, gold, copper, bronze) of the Mixed Media Trumpets

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Mixed Media Trumpets for Assigned Table

2. Trumpet (1984) Jean Michel Basquiat 

3. Discussion Questions "How do people express meaning through music and art? How do people interpret meaning in music and in art? How does music and art reflect the time and place in which it was created? What factors influence an artist's work? How can music or art communicate a theme? How do artists tell stories and convey message in their work? How did this music or art make you feel? How would you describe this artwork? Where do we experience music or art? What music or art do you enjoy playing with for fun? How does music and art evoke emotion? How do the fine arts use conflict and harmony to help show emotion? How do we experience conflict and harmony through the different arts disciplines?"

Lesson Activities

1. Use metallic colors (bronze, gold, silver) to fill in the positive space (foreground) of the trumpet paintings

2. Use analogous colors (blue, red, purple) to fill in the negative space (background) of the trumpet paintings

3. Use neutral colors (black, grey, white) to fill in the negative space (background) of the Mixed Media Trumpets

Day Three, Art Start

1. Retrieve Mixed Media Trumpets for Assigned Tables

2. Set Up Studio Area (paintbrushes, water buckets, oil pastels)

Lesson Activities

1. Add highlights (light source, reflective light) to fill in the positive space (foreground) of the trumpet paintings

2. Add shadows (reflective shadows, cast shadows) to fill in the negative space (background) of the trumpet paintings

3. Add details to the positive space (foreground) and negative space (background) of the Mixed Media Trumpets

BRIDGET RILEY OP ART

Bridget Riley Op Art

Learning Targets

I can...

  • Create an original Bridget Riley Op Art using drawing techniques learned in class
  • Use neutral colors (grey, black, white), shape (geometric, organic), and space (positive, negative) inspired by English Painter (1931-Present) Bridget Riley
  • Use optical effects (flashing, swelling, warping) and design principles (movement, rhythm, variation) based on Op Art
  • Define Optical Illusion ( a picture or drawing that deceives ones' visual perception) 

Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. Hesitate (1964) Bridget Riley

2. Read Embodied Visions: Bridget Riley, Op Art, and the Sixties by France Follin
3. Discussion Questions "How does the brain process what the eye beholds? Where have you seen an optical illusion in your everyday life? When you change the shape or pattern what happens to the illusion? Does your art fool the eye or make them dizzy? Did you change the pattern each time you created a new shape? Can you continue to see momentary after images (white dots) that cause a slight flickering effect? Have you seen an optical illusion before?"

Lesson Activities 

1. Choose 12" by 15" Drawing Paper
2. Use graphite pencil to draw geometric shapes (circle, heart, square) in the middle of the drawing paper
3. Add line types (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, arched) to the geometric shapes (circle, heart, square) of the drawing

Reminder:
  • Initials & Home Teacher on Back of Paper

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Bridget Riley Op Art for Assigned Table
2. Movement In Squares (1961) Bridget Riley

3. Discussion Questions "Which square is darker? Are the two colors the same color? Which part of the picture is darker left or right? How can the man go up all the time and come back to the same place over and over? What do you see? What word do you see? What do you see? How many deer can you see in the picture? How many horses can you see in the picture? What do you see? What can you see in the picture above?"

Lesson Activities

1. Extend line types (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, arched) outside of the geometric shapes (circle, heart, square) of the drawing
2. Add short segments to geometric shapes (circle, heart, square) to make the look of three-dimensional instead of two-dimensional art 
3. Add shadows (cast shadow, mid tones, shadow) to the positive/negative space of the Op Art

Day Three, Art Start

1. Retrieve Bridget Riley Op Art for Assigned Table
2. Set up Studio Area (pencils, erasers, rulers, compass)

Lesson Activities

1. Fill in the positive space (geometric shapes) with neutral colors (grey, black, white) of the optical illusions
2. Fill in the negative space (background) with neutral colors (grey, black, white) of the optical illusions
3. Add highlights (reflective light, casting light, light source) to positive/negative space of Op Art
