Many artists choose to make art about
animals. Often, they depict (show) the main idea
of the animal but leave out some of the details.
For example they might show the shape, but leave
out the texture or show the outline and leave
out the color or pattern. What can you see
that these artists chose to show? What did they
choose to leave out?
4
In this painting the artist used intense colors
and complicated shapes to create an image that is
energetic and exciting. Can you figure out
how the artist has made it seem that the fish are
actually swimming around in the water?
5
Do you think the artists purpose is to show a
particular species of fish? Do you know of any
fish that actually look like these fish?
6
Sometimes the artist is not interested in showing
an animals actual appearance, but instead wants
to use some attributes of the animal to create an
interesting artwork.
7
What kind of animal do you think it is? What
attributes can you point out that helps
you identify the animal? What attributes are
missing that would help identify the animal?
8
Can you imagine how this artist created
this animal? Can you tell what material the
artist used? This kind of art is called
sculpture. Sculpture is three dimensional.
That means it can be measured three ways. It has
height, width and depth.
9
In this sculpture, the artist has used line,
shape and space in interesting ways. What do
you notice about space this work? Can you find
space both inside and outside of the animals
shape? Can you explain how the line is
different than a line drawn with a pen or pencil?
10
Lets compare and contrast these two artworks?
Can you describe some ways they are alike? Can
you explain some ways they are different? Which
of these ways of making art would you choose?
Why?
