ADRIANA CZERNIN Adriana Czernin is a contemporary artist, born
in Bulgaria in 1969. She lives and works in Vienna, Austria, once
home of Klimt and the Jugendstil movement. She is interested in the
conflation of foreground and background and is known for her use of
pattern in figurative compositions. She has been heavily influenced
by the work of Bulgarian artist, Ivan Milev.

GUSTAV KLIMT, 1862-1918 Fulfillment or The Embrace, 1909, oil
on canvas Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter and a leading
figure in the Vienna Secessionist art movement. This group of
artists rejected the confines of academic tradition in favor of
experimentation and expressive use of the formal language of art.
Their work was often patterned and decorative.

MOTHER AND SISTER OF THE ARTIST, c.1893,oil on canvas EDOUARD
VUILLIARD 1868-1940 Vuillard belonged to a group of late 19 th
century French artists called the Nabis. Nabi means prophet in
Hebrew and Arabic. They chose an appropriate name since they were
leaders in a movement in a new style of painting that drew from
Impressionism but emphasized non- realistic color and bold and
flattened pattern. They made representational but design- oriented
work, recalling 19 th century Japanese prints.

Apply skills learned from previous lessons including modified
contour drawing, proportion, positive and negative space and value.
Concepts introduced: placement and proportion of the features of
the head, creation and use of pattern in a portrait, analogous
color scheme, transparent versus opaque application of watercolor
medium (values in color) Students use handouts to practice
proportion of head and features, practice drawing frontal view.
Demo proportion on frontal view head. Demo watercolor wash using
Analogous colors. After students use handouts to practice drawing
frontal view of heads, they will create a very light watercolor
wash on paper surface using only Analogous color scheme. This
watercolor wash will be used to trace final portrait from practice
drawings. The color will then be used to identify the animal
portraits and use of patterns. Using tracing paper, mirror and
portrait template. Students draw their portraits using modified
contour. This will count as one grade for the portrait project.
Final drawing of head transferred onto 12 x 16 inch paper using
light box or tracing paper.
Slide 29
Students will use various patterns from sheets provided to
accentuate the positive and/or negative space of the portrait.
Patterns will be used to enhance the features of the portrait,
patterns can overlap into negative to contrast the line portrait
drawing. Students will use image files to incorporate an animal of
their choice into their portrait. The animal can be morphed into a
portion of the face and will engage the background. Animals will
need to include patterns. Students will need to make creative
choices to create an interesting background using pattern and
animal. Students after being introduced to analogous color scheme
will apply this to portrait and to patterns. Students will use pen
and ink (or fine point sharpie) to do final outline of portrait.
Show evidence of care and effort to produce a creative, original

Analagous colors Analagous colors are next to each other on the
color wheel. These colors will have a common base color. For
instance: blue, blue-violet, and violet. Another example is
yellow-green, green, and blue-green.
