During this project we will be looking at 4 types of art. We will be using this art to produce a portrait.

Today we are learning;

• To understand Pointillism and how to make Pointillist art.

• To work in the style of another artist.

Pointillism

Some artists have found different ways of painting.

In the 19th Century, artists such as Andre Derain and Georges Seurat used a

technique called the ‘Pointillist’ technique.

Instead of using brushstrokes to paint, they put small dots of colour on the paper.

Originally oil paint was used for pointillist paintings as it was thick and it didn’t run.

What could we use to create this effect?

• When we use this technique, we are mixing colours -- not by blending them together -- but by placing two colours side by side.

• It's called the optical mixing of colours.

• For example, we may place clusters of red dots and surround them with yellow dots.

Up close we will see red and yellow, but from a distance, we will see orange.

On your sheet complete the text and use the pointillist technique to colour Elvis Priestley's head.

Pop Art

Short for Popular Art, the Pop Art movement used common everyday objects, such as billboards, comic strips, magazine advertisements, famous faces and supermarket products.

Because it was influenced by advertising and comic strips it used bright bold and flat colours. It also used thick black lines.

Another thing taken from advertising isthe dots.

The cheaper newspapers and magazines would blow photos up so much it would become dotty.

Pop artists used this idea and added it into their art.

Fauvism Fauvism used bright,

bold, non-natural colours.

They didn’t use much detail in their Art.

Their aim was to express emotion through colour choice.

Blending similar colours.

We will be using oil pastels to create this style.

Bright, bold, un-natural colours.

Blending similar colours.

No white gaps

Tips when using oil pastels;

1. Press on until all the white of the paper is covered.

2. Blend the oil pastels by overlapping similar colours. (remember to put the lightest colour on first)

3. Go back over until blended.

Impressionism

• Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement.

• It includes visible brush strokes.

Does anyone recognise this artist?

• How could we recreate this technique?

• What materials could we use?

• What tools could we use?
