Motivational videos

Of course the few I have mentioned and used a time or two www.artsonia.com and www.animoto.com

Great video: Ok not appropriate for in class use, maybe high school, depending on your students but great ideas for creating a living painting as a resource for you. A project I have been thinking about doing every year but just have not got motivated to do yet. One of the college art teachers, Terry Yacovelli, showed this this video. My favorite I may have my students do is the sunflower have a group design flowers and groups create the background??

Great element of art lesson I recently did

Mondrian: Shape, Color and line

Mondrian:

1. What is abstract art?

2. What do you think this painting by Mondrian: Boogie Woogie is about? Tell me something about it?

Watch the animated video of one of Mondrian’s art works: Boogie Woogie. After watching the video: What do you think this painting is about or looks like?

Did the animation help you? The full title is Broadway Boogie Woogie I left off Broadway to see if you could guess, most references to this art piece drop the "Broadway" from the title.

In Broadway Boogie Woogie, Mondrian represents the restless motion of the city. Move the button underneath the painting from right to left to remove the hue (color), without altering the luminance (brightness).

Project: Mondrian painting

Look at the Google Earth picture of our school . If you do not have a projector Print a copy.

1. Draw all the lines that you want in Pencil you may straighten more than the real image of leave them curved depends on what feeling of motion you want.
