Program Module: Modern Art (4)

Learn about artists who use abstraction to emphasize the importance of feelings and ideas, rather than trying to capture a realistic scene. Students create drawings of abstract animals, wire sculptures of action figures, and stencils of organic shapes. They explore Salvador Dali's transformations of realistic figures, Charles Demuth's precisionist style, and Georgia O'Keeffe and Helen Frankenthaler's abstract color studies. Other projects give students a chance to abstract a face as they create a Pablo Picasso-style portrait, sculpt a clay figure inspired by Auguste Rodin, and paint a historical mural on Mission life in the style of Diego Rivera. The 12 lessons in this program module feature the masterpieces below.
