Program Module: Art Tells a Story (1)

Discover the story in a work of art. Students learn to analyze clues in a composition to interpret the message of the artist. They see how jagged lines can make a seascape threatening and how color can set the mood in a landscape. Students master techniques such as drawing contour figures, employing Georges Seurat-style pointillism, and printing repeated designs inspired by Polynesian tapa cloths. Additional projects give students the opportunity to craft a clay animal based on Eskimo art, design an African mask, paint an Impressionist scene, and create an abstract composition in the style of Jackson Pollock. The 12 lessons in this program module feature the masterpieces below.
