Goals:

2.1Ad: Experiment, plan, and make multiple works of art and design that explore a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept.

Advanced Drawing: Bauhaus Drawing – Oskar Schlemmer

Oskar Schlemmer and his Paintings – You are all TOO worried about the figures… let’s look at a good video that speaks and shows the figure. http://c300221.r21.cf1.rackcdn.com/oskar-schlemmer-rmisches-vier-figuren-im-raum-1925-1345335452_b.jpg

Goals:

2.3Ad: Demonstrate in works of art or design how visual and material culture defines, shapes, enhances, inhibits, and/or empowers people’s lives.
What is your movement and how have you decided upon a color scheme? Remember that the Bauhaus was all about the NEUTRALS – how will you change that up? Think about the Oskar Schlemmer “Staircase” painting… how will you use that idea in your drawing?

What have you discovered / rediscovered about the ideas and the use of oil pastels? How do you see them as being a STRONG tool for you to use in the drawing?

Drawing: Online Presentation of the Images.

Using Google Presentation together – HERE. TODAY is the day we will finish.
