Look in magazines and newspapers Present the montage in an interesting way e.g. carrying on a piece of a picture in the background, leaving gaps and filling them with your own sketches Use scissors and glue, or you can even tear it for an interesting effect. Do it on A4 paper.

3. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk Homework: by the next lesson Make a detailed sketch(es) of an object relevant to the theme. Use a pencil, or coloured pencils, a biro or chalk. Do it on interesting paper. Enjoy!!

6. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk An artist born in Russia, and one of the first to create pure abstract in modern painting His forms evolved from fluid and organic to geometric, and, finally, to pictographic Kandinsky used colour in an extremely theoretical way, linking tone and quality (character of sound), shade with pitch, and saturation with the amount of sound. He even maintained that when he saw colour he heard music. Wassily KANDINSKY Click here to see examples of the artists work

7. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk Here, Kandinsky has moved from colour to form as the element in the composition that dominates most. Now, contrast between forms gives the dynamic balance of the work; the large circle in the upper left plays against the network of precise lines in the right hand part of the canvas. Notice also how Kandinsky uses different colours within the forms to energise his geometry: The background also works to enrich the dynamic nature of the composition. The forms tend to recede and move forward within this depth, creating an effect of dynamic pulling and pushing. ‘Composition VIII’

9. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk Cubism emphasises the importance of form over everything, including colour. Usually only black, brown and grey were used. It shows a subject in a geometric way, using shapes such as cylinders, cones and cubes. Frequently images are changed so much that the image cannot be identified. Cubism and modern art were visual and came from the eye and the mind. Cubism is the division of a 3D form into a flat surface of colour and pattern. Cubism

11. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk PABLO RUIZ PICASSO Pablo Picasso went through a number of phases during his life when he employed a number of various artistic styles to express the different emotions which he was experiencing at the time, namely realism, cartoons, the blue period the rose period and Cubism. Girl with a Mandolin

12. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk Analytical Cubism By 1910 Picasso developed Cubism into analytical cubism. The objects were divided into components, and the parts were put together so that the back and front were visible at the same time. An object would be painted from different angles using more the one light source. The aim of analytical cubism was to show an image in a conceptual way, showing facts also, rather than as a visual image. The Guitar Player

14. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk Creating COMPOSITION In today’s lesson you will: Create a series of different ideas for the composition of the final piece namely ‘DRY POINT’ PRINTING This work will continue for at least the next 5 lessons Today’s work will help you to decide what you will be doing during the mock examination this year.

15. www.gcad-cymru.org.uk Follow the steps below to create a series of ideas: 1. Trace 4 different images or pictures out of the sketchbook or from the A2 page. 2. Use A4 tracing paper and a black fineliner. 3. When you have traced the 4 images or pictures, turn the tracing paper over and rub each line fairly hard with a pencil. 4. Copy the images onto the piece of A2 paper in an interesting way. 5. Experiment by repeating images, turning them on their side or using only part of the image to create about 4 interesting compositions.
