What Students Will Learn This art curriculum covers six main art lessons. For each lesson, we will dive into the life of a famous Modern artist while we learn specific art concepts and experiment with several types of media. In “Remembering like Grandma Moses” we study Folk Art and the use of one of the Principals of Design: Emphasis In “Creating Cubist Art Like Picasso” we learn about the art movement Picasso created: Cubism and we learn the elements it is made of: shape, space, perspective, and color. In “Illustrating like Norman Rockwell” we learn about America’s most famous illustrator, the art of Illustration, and the impact Rockwell had on the culture around him. In “Painting in Tones like O’Keeffe” we study this “Mother of Modern Art” as we learn about the 6th Element of Art: Value. We also look at the genre of Still Life art and idea of abstractionism. In “Painting with Neutral Colors like Wyeth” we dive into color theory, experimenting with color mixing to create a palette similar to Wyeth’s. In “Painting with Primary Colors like Lichtenstein” we learn about Pop Art and go deeper into the role color plays in the emotional impact of a work of art.
