If choosing the theme of MUSIC you must

• Research into images, patterns and pictures in
  music.
• Research into the work of artists and
  craftspeople that use clay.
• Experiment with clay processes and techniques.
• Create a piece of 3D clay work as a finished
  piece.

Wassily KANDINSKY

• An artist born in Russia, and one of the first to
  create pure abstract in modern painting
• His forms evolved from fluid and organic to
  geometric, and, finally, to pictographic
• Kandinsky used colour in an extremely theoretical
  way, linking tone and quality (character of
  sound), shade with pitch, and saturation with the
  amount of sound. He even maintained that when he
  saw colour he heard music.

• Here, Kandinsky has moved from colour to form as
  the element in the composition that dominates
  most.
• Now, contrast between forms gives the dynamic
  balance of the work the large circle in the
  upper left plays against the network of precise
  lines in the right hand part of the canvas.
• Notice also how Kandinsky uses different colours
  within the forms to energise his geometry
• The background also works to enrich the dynamic
  nature of the composition.
• The forms tend to recede and move forward within
  this depth, creating an effect of dynamic pulling
  and pushing.

CUBISM-Pablo PICASSO

• Present information about your second artist just
  as in the first essay by 28-11-11

Cubism

• Cubism emphasises the importance of form over
  everything, including colour.
• Usually only black, brown and grey were used.
• It shows a subject in a geometric way, using
  shapes such as cylinders, cones and cubes.
• Frequently images are changed so much that the
  image cannot be identified.
• Cubism and modern art were visual and came from
  the eye and the mind.
• Cubism is the division of a 3D form into a flat
  surface of colour and pattern.

PABLO RUIZ PICASSO

• Pablo Picasso went through a number of phases
  during his life when he employed a number of
  various artistic styles to express the different
  emotions which he was experiencing at the time,
  namely realism, cartoons, the blue period the
  rose period and Cubism.

Analytical Cubism

• By 1910 Picasso developed Cubism into analytical
  cubism.
• The objects were divided into components, and the
  parts were put together so that the back and
  front were visible at the same time.
• An object would be painted from different angles
  using more the one light source.
• The aim of analytical cubism was to show
• an image in a conceptual way, showing
• facts also, rather than as a visual image.

Creating COMPOSITION

• In todays lesson you will
• Create a series of different ideas for the
  composition of the final piece namely DRY POINT
  PRINTING
• This work will continue for at least the next 5
  lessons
• Todays work will help you to decide what you
  will be doing during the mock examination this
  year.

15

• Follow the steps below to create a series of
  ideas
• Trace 4 different images or pictures out of the
  sketchbook or from the A2 page.
• Use A4 tracing paper and a black fineliner.
• When you have traced the 4 images or pictures,
  turn the tracing paper over and rub each line
  fairly hard with a pencil.
• Copy the images onto the piece of A2 paper in an
  interesting way.
• Experiment by repeating images, turning them on
  their side or using only part of the image to
  create about 4 interesting compositions.
