Traditional Art Practices: Abstraction
Teacher: Mr. Pelham Extra Help: Monday, Art Room from 3:00 - 4:00
In this course, students will explore representation and
abstraction through a variety of mediums and materials. Representational art is
recognizable as a person, place, or thing. Abstraction is the process of
distorting or avoiding representation such that an image or object does
not resemble a recognizable subject. The subject of abstract art is often the
materials used to create it, and the shapes, forms, lines, and colors which it
is composed of. Throughout the semester students will learn about the history
of abstraction, as well as contemporary artists that make abstract art, and the
various intentions artists have for making abstract art. Students will
investigate abstraction through a series of projects which explore the
relationship between representation and abstraction in a variety of mediums and
materials.
