Fauvism 1904-1915
French for "wild beasts" Fauves were early 20thcentury modern artists
The work of the Fauves were characterized by seemingly wild brush work and strident colors, while their subject matter had a high degree of simplification and abstraction.
Matisse
Was commonly regarded, along with as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the modern art movement throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century.
The project:
Using black,white, and grey paper, students will develop an interesting composition of cut out shapes that reflects their understanding of shape and space and their knowledge of cut out art.
Idea
The composition should have at least 5 organic shapes and 5 geometric shapes.
The artwork should layer and overlay grey, black and white paper.
One color should be designated for organic shapes, one color for geometric, and one for the background.
The artwork should be 12x18 when completed.
The more complex the shapes are the better
