I'm very excited by my new students and the lessons that they have begun. In 8th grade we have begun with a unit on Art and Architecture. We will use a device I call "Art Talk" in class to discuss matters of art, critique work, look at artwork and talk about it. We began talking about building structures and moved to artwork whose subject is buildings, what elements and principles of art do you see in each kind of creation? What are the forms and functions of each? Then we looked at the work of the artist and architect, Friedenreich Hundertwasser who was a Viennese Artist who lived from 1928- 2000. Above are architecctural worksof Hundertwasser.
The students have begun paintings reminicent of Hundertwassers colors, shapes and imaginative creations. I can't wait to see what they will come up with.
