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?
The display was designed by the students 3D Visual Mdse instructor (moi), but it was the students responsibility to implement the display from the plan-o-gram and directives given to them. They were also given some clothing, and they supplied others. I asked them to style the mannequins the way that felt appropriate. The space can be difficult to work in because it's only 30" deep.
This design was made to showcase what my beliefs and desires would be if I ran a business. I decided to go with ten words that I felt that I would want to see or have in a business. I went with growth, because I want to see a business grow and blossom. Life kind of goes with it, but I felt that it should be included and I wanted the people to be real and human, so I included these two words as well. Friendship is used to show that my business would be there for the customer along with being allies, and I want my business to also show care. There will be trust and perseverance when thinking about this business, and I also want the customer to have hope when they use this business’ services; however, I also want the business itself to have the hope to succeed. I wanted to use stars, because I just thought it would look cool; however, it could also mean to reach for the stars. I chose the tree to embody growth and life for this business. I wanted the colors to be yellow, red and blue because I felt that they were complimentary to one another and they are pleasing to the eye. I was inspired by the design of a flag; I looked at the designs of all 50 U.S. flags. I was also inspired by the design of a retro t-shirt design.
Third Grade Surrealist Self-Portrait:
These self-portraits are based on dream imagery, symbolism, and devices used by the Surrealist Art Movement to uncover our unconscious thoughts and goals. Surrealist artists played games to gather ideas for their artwork, often achieving very strange combinations of images! What elements in these paintings do you think came from dreams?
Ask yourself: A “random juxtaposition”is a combination of two random objects that oppose one another to stimulate creativity. Can you find random juxtapositions in these paintings?
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.
"Hysterical"
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?

Sixth Grade Time-Travelling
Self-Portrait
These Time-Travelling Self-Portraits involved researching many time periods to choose an intriguing era and location to use for altering a current portrait. Students reviewed costume, hairstyle and background to create a view into the past, and even some fictional lands!
Ask yourself: Can you guess the time and place of each self-portrait?
