Color: Learning to see

Hello all, as we prepare to move into color in the next unit, I want to give you an opportunity to prepare your minds for the fascinating and complex world of color. 
















Observe the image above.  How many types of yellow do you think are present?  Why would an artist choose to make a painting with only one color?  Explain.  How do you think the use of one color affects how the viewer sees or perceives the work of art?  Explain.   And lastly, what perspective is used here?  Explain.


























Observe the image above.  This is Picasso's the Old Guitarist, a work of art from his Blue period.  How do you think the use of one color affects how the viewer sees or perceives the work of art?  Explain.  Was using blue a wise choice?  Explain.  What feelings may this painting bring out in viewers?  Explain.  Why do you think Picasso chose to not paint the guitar blue?  Explain.

Jason Borders

 Jason Borders is an Oregon based artist who carves skulls by hand using a dremel tool (like a power drill with many tip attachments).  Many of the motifs and patterns in his work often repeat lines, shapes, and other elements resulting in a sort of indigenous or tribal aesthetic.  





What does Jason Border's work remind you of?  Explain.

How does he use the elements and principles?  Explain.

How does his work resemble tattooing?  Explain.

By carving on the skulls of something that was once alive could Jason be attempting to convey a message to his audience?  What could that message be?  Or what is his work about?  Explain.  (Use the techniques from Feldman Model to assist you)
