1.What impact does clothing have on how we perceive others and ourselves? What kind of impact does our culture and time in history have on our clothes? How are these artists handling the human figure? What does this artwork convey about the figure?
2.This unit will help students to become more aware of social constructs that have to do with clothing. Students will be able to recognize the value of different painting styles. Students will be able to create a larger scale piece of art.
3.Artists to possibly explore: Fidalis Buhler, James Christansen, Jack Taylor (illustration), Edgar Degas, Cayce Zavagalia, Mariana Santos, David Walker, Jennifer Nehrbass, Picasso. We will also discuss clothing from different time periods such as: 1920’s, Victorian Era, 1980’s, Renaissance, etc.
4.Painting on large sheets of paper with large brushes only.
Then talking about color theory and trips/tricks of paint mixing they learned.
Gesture drawings with charcoal or pastels another day.
Show artists and their various techniques and discuss them as a class.
Discussion about clothing and short lesson on historical clothing.
Gesture or loose drawings with a variety of materials. Students will be required to rotate through different materials and try new techniques. They will be encouraged to fail and try layering images or other such techniques to help stop students from making their work too precious.
More careful look at clothing choices. Explain the larger project and students will be given the chance to do research or practice skills to prepare. Demo if students want one.
5. Students will create a large painting or pastel drawing of a person they know (themselves, a friend, a family member, etc.) and pay special attention to the clothing on the person. The clothing can be from any time period and in any style. The students will write a short paragraph on why they choose the clothing they did. They must also put some thought into the background.
