This year I want my student's to discover art movements and to develop artwork inspired by famous artists and their painting styles by doing their own acrylic painting on canvas board.
Students will paint an atmospheric perspective landscape on canvas board inspired by the "Wild Beasts" of Fauvism. We'll also look further into contemporary artists influenced by the Fauvs such as David Hockney and his unique use of horizon lines. From their imagination, students will draw a foreground, middle ground, and background to fill in with arbitrary colors of acrylic paint. All colors created will derive from primary colors so students master mixing paint, creating complex colors, and use of the palette knife. I am requesting acrylic paint, canvas panels, and painting knives.
