AP Art & Art IV week five...

Art IV and AP Art will continue to explore pattern and texture with their still life drawings. They will use India Ink and and color medium of their choice to complete the assignment. One objective of the lesson is to juxtapose a flat picture plane with a suggestion of depth and space.

Here are some artists that did just that...            

Notice how Henri Matisse flattens the picture plane with the pattern on the wall and table but
suggests depth with the view out of the window.

Gustav Klimt pushes the boundaries of abstraction vs. realism when he juxtaposes a realistic figure
against such elaborate patterns. Beautiful!
