THE SHAPE

We practiced using the smallest element of Art, the dot, and then, the line. This is the third element on the list: the SHAPE.
Watch this short video:



WHO IS HENRY MATISSE? Follow this link to know about this great french artist:

https://www.theartstory.org/artist/matisse-henri/

Matisse began to use collage as he got older. He used brightly coloured paper and scissors to cut out shapes, animals, leaves, dancers and flowers and then arrange them

The horse, the rider and the clown, 1943

This collage shows the different ways Matisse cut out paper: from larger shapes such as the purple horse, to more careful and detailed cutting involved in the yellow, white and black shapes.
Here, Matisse has created lots of shapes that look similar to each other, but each one is a unique leaf. You can see how he has repeated these similar shapes, almost filling the entire picture with leaves.

The sheaf, 1953


The shapes and colours that Matisse uses look as if they are jumping and dancing. They seem to reflect his approach to life. This is something he said: "He/She who loves, flies, runs and rejoices...is free and nothing holds them back"

What do you feel when you look at Henri Matisse's art? Do his pictures make you feel happy?
YOUR TASK
Why not have a go at creating your own cut out collages? Write in your Red Artist's Book the name of this third element of Art. Use two pages to create a composition with simple shapes and bright colours.

WORLD BOOK DAY 2020: SECOND PART

We go on celebrating the World Book Day. The second activity is really fun. It consists of making a FLIPBOOK (folioscopio or filoscopio in Spanish).

I recently came up with a great artist on Instagram: @gi.a.art. I love his inspiring work full of freedom and creativity.

WORLD BOOK DAY'20


World Book Day is coming on Thursday 5 March 2020! | National ...

I'm sure you're going to love the proposals related to such a wonderful day.

FIRST ACTIVITY:

Think of your favourite book ever. Redesign its cover by using traditional art supplies (colour pencils, watercolours, gouaches, etc) or digital apps. The main aim of the cover of a book is to catch the attention of a possible reader. Knowing that, try to be original!!
As an example, you can see four very different covers of the same book:


Frankenstein - Librería RayuelaFRANKENSTEIN O EL MODERNO PROMETEO - Casa Ruíz Morote

Frankenstein por Mary Shelley | Tienda de Plutón EdicionesGris Grimly's Frankenstein - Mary Shelley - Hardcover


FIRST A AND B ESO STUDENTS: Send me by e-mail two photos: the original book cover and your own design in your artist book (after the last letter of the Great Artists Alphabet). A memorable sentence from the book will be welcome:)

ALUMNOS DE 1ºC ESO: Para celebrar el Día del Libro te propongo dos actividades. La primera consiste en que pienses cual es tu libro favorito hasta hoy. Después, re-diseña su portada. La portada de un libro es fundamental. Su principal objetivo es llamar la atención de posibles lectores. Trata de ser original. Al terminar, envíame un correo electrónico con una imagen del libro que has elegido y otra foto de tu diseño. Sería estupendo que añadieras una frase del libro, aquella que en tu opinión mejor capta su historia o la que más te ha llamado la atención. Tenéis hasta el martes 28 de abril para hacerme llegar vuestra propuesta.
