Fourth Grade Expressionist Painting:
These Emotion Compositions are inspired by the work of the Expressionist Art Movement. Students brainstormed common elements in paintings that lead the viewer to feel particular emotions, including color, symbol, brush stroke style, size and movement. After choosing an emotion, fourth grade students made extensive lists and sketches of all the visual elements that would help express that feeling. Can you guess the emotion of each painting without looking at the title?
Ask yourself: How might you paint each emotion differently, yet still express the essence of the idea to your audience?
Second Grade Hundertwasser-Inspired Landscapes:
Second grade students studied the whimsical and colorful work of Austrian painter and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and created their own fantastic landscapes using repeating line and experimenting with color mixing and using complementary colors. Hundertwasser often added highlights of gold leaf to enrich his work, as have the second grade students! Many of these paintings feature faces hidden in the landscape, can you find them?
Ask yourself: What would living in each of these landscapes be like?
This is the work of the Graphic Design 2 students at Taiyuan Normal University in Taiyuan City, Shanxi, China. Their work is impressive. They are excellent at package design, have an a mazing sense of color and clearly understand the language of visual metaphors. We are happy to be collaborating with them this semester.
