I can draw a sphere.
I can create the illusion of a 3 dimensional form.
I understand the difference in and outline and a fully shaded object.

Performance task: Draw a sphere in your sketchbook. Try to contour your drawing to the shape of a sphere (not side to side, rounded marks). Try to blend your values as you shade from the core shadow to the highlight.

What is the difference in Style and Movement?
A way of grouping artists by similarities in technique, results, appearance, method, intentions, concepts, media…. Movements are anchored to a time, place, group of artist, where style is not. For example, I can work in the style of Impressionism, but I can never be a part of the Impressionist movement–that has passed. Monet, Manet, Degas, Cassat were all a part of the Impressionist movement; their work is also Impressionistic in style.
1. Look at art in each of these styles. Familiarize yourself with some of the artists who created work in each style.
2. Identify characteristics of the art you see.
Warning: Artist rarely create art in only one style. For example, Picasso is well known for his cubist work, but he also created realistic art, as well as art in many other styles.
Impressionism & Post Impressionism: Claude Monet, Edward Manet, Mary Cassat, Vincent Van Gogh, Degas
*dabby brush strokes, no true black, study of the light, captures a quick “impression”, outdoor scenes
Pop Art: Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Claues Oldenburg
*comments on pop culture, often bold colors, often simplified forms or shapes, sometimes uses repetition
Surrealism: Salvidor Dali, Juan Miro,
*dream like state
Realism/Naturalism/Imitationalism: The Hudson River School
*looks real
