For this project, we will look at Jean Dubuffet. We will look specifically at his sculptures using the Hourloupe style. You and a partner will create a sculpture in DuBuffet's Hourloupe style. DAY 1- Intro Today we will look at a history of DuBuffet and take a look at his artworks. Here is a brief biography of DuBuffet. “French painter, sculptor, printmaker, collector and writer. He was temperamentally opposed to authority and any suggestion of discipline and devised for himself a coherent, if rebellious, attitude towards the arts and culture. For all his maverick challenges to the values of the art world, Dubuffet’s career exemplified the way in which an avant-garde rebel could encounter notoriety, then fame and eventual reverence. His revolt against beauty and conformity has come to be seen as a symptomatic and appreciable influence in 20th-century culture.” “Dubuffet's Hourloupe style developed from a chance doodle while he was on the telephone. The basis of it was a tangle of clean black lines that forms cells, which are sometimes filled with unmixed color. He believed the style evoked the manner in which objects appear in the mind. This contrast between physical and mental representation later encouraged him to use the approach to create sculpture.” “His primitive approach to art making, with its simple, childlike figures and bold, visually dramatic palette, has universal appeal and is instrumental in modern psychology and studies of mental development.” Examples of DuBuffet sculptures in the hourloupe style DAY 1 ACTIVITY After you have watched the videos, get a piece of paper and begin practicing the hourloupe style, following the directions in the vimeo video above. Today is a practice day, so work on trying to capture the hourloupe style in your artwork. DAY 2-3 Sculpture (Making pieces) After discussing Dubuffet and his artworks we will begin to create our own DuBuffet styled sculptures. 1. Look through the slides and the links below to gain some inspiration for your sculpture idea. 2. Draw 5-6 shapes on the piece of paper. Make your shapes large enough to fill the paper. 3. Cut out your shapes. 4. Draw the Hourloupe style drawings on each side of your pieces. Day 3-4 Sculpture (Assembling) 5. Put your pieces together by cutting small cuts into the pieces and sliding pieces together. Click here to find examples of making a "base" for your sculpture so it will stand. You cannot use glue or tape to put pieces together. 6. We will display your sculptures in the library after you and your partner take a picture of it on Artsonia Here are 3 links for you to look at some sculpture ideas for your project.

After drawing gestures sketches of our classmates, we picked our favorite to turn into a sculpture. The artist Alberto Giacometti influenced us. We added shadows to give them more dimension
I usually start the year with kindergartners learning about and using lines. In previous years we have made line paintings and line sculptures with wire and pipecleaners. Another fun project we made was line windsocks by rolling up line paintings and adding tissue paper streamers. We’ve done line drawings (check out what my old blog used to look like before I moved it over to this website.) This year I was reminded by Cassie Stephens of a project I used … Read more... →

Did you know that many butterfly and other pollinating insect populations are declining due to habitat loss, changes in climate, and pesticide/herbicide use? One thing that humans can do to change this decline is to plant a butterfly garden with nectar producing plants to help these lovely creatures feed and thrive. Our school has a

7th grade 3-D students finished up their clay cupcakes and were eager to begin their next project. We looked at the artwork of pop artist, Romero Britto. Britto is a painter and sculptor from Brazil who creates light-hearted, happy artwork using simple shapes, bright colors and lots of patterns. He took inspiration from Matisse and Picasso. Students looked at his artwork of animals and decided to create their own animal sculpture. Using Styrofoam, they created large shapes for the body. They had the option to create flat sculptures or make some parts of it rounded. After they created their form, it was time to plaster! We used PlastrCraft strips to completely cover the sculpture, making sure to smooth out all of the holes as best as we could. This would make painting easier. After the plaster was dry, students went in and added thick, black outlines around their sculpture using sharpie or black paint. Finally, it was time to paint! I really gave them a lot of freedom with the paint. As long as they had areas of solid color and patterns, they could do what they pleased. I reminded them to paint crisp edges and smoothly. Here are some of them so far
