Site officiel du musée du Louvre 10 Reasons Art Peeps are the Best Peeps | Art Teachers Hate Glitter We all know it, art peeps are the best peeps. Outside of art school, many of us rarely come together with other artsy people. Unless you are fortunate enough to work in a large district, most art teachers rarely even see other art teachers. This probably explains why art teachers go so bonkers over art teacher gatherings, whether they be in-service days or conferences. Everyone should have an art peep in their lives. No one gets my sense of humor like art people do. This is a no brainer, but we really do have some pretty awesome and creative minds. Art people have rockin’ style, and we show it in a variety of ways. Art peeps are some of the most adaptable peeps I have ever met. Art people offer a unique perspective. Art peeps are some of the most positive, and yet, some of the most cynical peeps I’ve ever met. I’ve never met an art peep who hasn’t had a thirst for change, whether it be big or small. I know few art peeps who don’t crave adventure in one form or another. Like this:

Musée The Top 10 Mistakes Made By Art Students A Spanish translation of this article is available here: Traducción Española In my seven years of teaching, I have assessed over one thousand Painting / Fine Art student folios. It has become obvious that high school Art students make the same mistakes, over and over again. This article outlines these errors, so that others can avoid making the same errors themselves. In no particular order, the mistakes are as follows: Thinking Art will be an entertaining, ‘filler’ subject Many students select Art thinking that it will be a fun subject where you hurl a bit of paint around and scribble with brightly coloured crayons. Taking too long to begin Some students are struck with a fear that they don’t have an original starting point or that they haven’t interpreted their exam topic in quite the right way. Producing weak or uninspiring compositions Compositional errors can be broken into the following four categories: Flaunting poor skills Failing to show development Many Art qualifications (i.e.
History of Art: Origins, Evolution of Visual Arts History of Iron Age Art and Classical Antiquity (c.1500-200 BCE) The Iron Age saw a huge growth in artistic activity, especially in Greece and around the eastern Mediterranean. It coincided with the rise of Hellenic (Greek-influenced) culture. Mycenean Art (c.1500-1100 BCE) Although Mycenae was an independent Greek city in the Greek Peloponnese, the term "Mycenean" culture is sometimes used to describe early Greek art as a whole during the late Bronze Age. Ancient Greek Art (c.1100-100 BCE) Ancient Greek art is traditionally divided into the following periods: (1) the Dark Ages (c.1100-900 BCE). (2) The Geometric Period (c.900-700 BCE). (3) The Oriental-Style Period (c.700-625 BCE). (4) The Archaic Period (c.625-500 BCE). (5) The Classical Period (c.500-323 BCE). (6) The Hellenistic Period (c.323-100 BCE). Like all craftsmen of the Mediterranean area, the ancient Greeks borrowed a number of important artistic techniques from their neighbours and trading partners. Greek Pottery Architecture

Tools Adventures in Middle School Art!: Positive-Negative Cut Paper Giving Exacto knives to 7th graders.... Am I crazy or what?! This project is about balance, positive/negative space and craftsmanship. Students were given the challenge of coming up with a theme around which they could design 7-10 fairly simple, symmetrical graphics. They cut half of each graphic from the side of an 8" black square and the positive shapes were flipped over the edge. See if you can figure out the theme of each one! Centre Pompidou Virtuel | Le centre pompidou « Sur la Piazza et à l’extérieur du volume utilisable, on a centrifugé tous les équipements du mouvement du public.

3,900 Pages of Paul Klee's Personal Notebooks Are Now Online, Presenting His Bauhaus Teachings (1921-1931) Paul Klee led an artistic life that spanned the 19th and 20th centuries, but he kept his aesthetic sensibility tuned to the future. Because of that, much of the Swiss-German Bauhaus-associated painter's work, which at its most distinctive defines its own category of abstraction, still exudes a vitality today. And he left behind not just those 9,000 pieces of art (not counting the hand puppets he made for his son), but plenty of writings as well, the best known of which came out in English as Paul Klee Notebooks, two volumes (The Thinking Eye and The Nature of Nature) collecting the artist's essays on modern art and the lectures he gave at the Bauhaus schools in the 1920s. "These works are considered so important for understanding modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo’s A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance," says Monoskop.
