BUREAU NO BR-0-I-060 PUB DATE Jan 72 GRANT OEG-9-70-0031(057) NOTE 85p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Ability Identification; *Art; *children; Classification; *Concept Formation; Correlation; Data Analysis; Data Collection; Discrimination Learning; Individual Differences; Interaction; Rating Scales; Research; Standards; Stimuli; Student Evaluation; Tape Recordings; Task Performance: Test Results; Verbal Ability; *Visual Perception ABSTRACT The re earch reported here was designed to measure the abilities of school-age children to form and generalize "visual concepts" on the basis of their observation of prepared sets of art reproductions. The art reproduction sets displayed similarities based upon various visual attributes. Discrimination of theattributes common to any given set was taken as evidence of concept formation. Selection of similar reproductions in additional displays was taken as evidence of concept generalization. Additionally,tape-recorded discussions of the test administrations were analyzed. These discussions yielded additional evidence of successful test performance (on a verbal dimension) and were useful in describing the character of children's abilities to discuss the visual attributes of art reproductions. Evidence gathered indicates that students at all grades (except, possibly, kindergarten) are able to form visual concepts from their observation of selected sets of art reproductions. Subjects also successfully described their classification of observed visual similarities when discussing the items.

Copyright © 2015 Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University 43 Working in Fields of Sunshine BY HEIDI J. HORNIK he workers depicted here by Vincent van Gogh are the subject of the only painting by the artist known to have been purchased during This lifetime. It is believed that he painted the vineyard from memory. Van Gogh had worked and studied in London, Antwerp, and The Hague. But it is not until seeing the paintings of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in Paris that he changed his palette dramatically in 1887 to use brighter, less opaque colors. Like the Impressionists, he painted from life, preferred the use of natural light, and employed the synthetic evocation of color through Divisionism (the juxtaposition of small touches of pure, unmixed pigment directly on the canvas). This last characteristic became the expressive trademark of his later works.1 In February 1888, Van Gogh left the bustle of Paris to live in Arles, a small town in southern France. He was inspired by Jean-Francois Millet’s paintings that focused on the work of the common peasant. Van Gogh enjoyed studying the workers as he viewed the golden wheat fields, the blossoming orchards, and sunflowers that appear in his later and most famous paintings.

  • Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995
    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

  • How to Explain Modern Art – Part 2
    1 How to Explain Modern Art – Part 2 Series Summary Insights tracing how the use of painted color led from Impressionism to Abstract Art and the starving artists who produced works of art that now sell for hundreds of millions of dollars. A Three Part Series on Art Not Only How to Explain Modern Art (But How to Have Your Students Create Their Own Abstract Project) Part 2 The painter Matisse taught classes on painting and making art. He would tell his students that if they wanted to be a painter, they would need to first cut out their tongue because they can’t explain their art. It must speak for itself. (Flam, 2005). What would Matisse say about writing about art? Well we know don’t we, but please read on…. So we are to believe Matisse taught his classes in pantomime? No explanations about art? There were lectures and discussions and heated arguments; after all this was Paris the center of the Art World. Young painters came to learn how to make art that was totally inventive and alive. They had the idea that painting could “really speak to people”. Art was not about money. Selling your work was, of course, important and necessary, allowing you to buy paint and canvas and perhaps even eat a good meal once in a while. But, more important was that your work "spoke to the buyer". Good art was all about human intimate connection, and still is. This article will continue its examination of the profound way photographic technology affected painting of the 20th century and briefly identify the participating avant-garde artists, who were major influences on each other and how we see the world we live in.

She made history as the first such artist in several states including an upcom - ing exhibit September through December 2021 on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. Anderson, who has Down syn - drome and autism, is low-functioning and does not care for herself, read, write or speak. Painting has become her voice and she has been featured on local, regional and national media outlets, which has resulted in a large following with sales of more than 100 paintings in 35 states. Unlike neurotypical professional artists, Anderson’s work is her only voice, and she is prolific with more than 300 pieces in less than three years. She paints weekly at the Inside Out Studio, a local studio for adults with disabilities, where she creates museum-worthy art. She works with canvas or board to create landscape and abstract art. She often paints over her work several times before she is finished, and uses a broadly generalized brushstroke, roller or sponge, with smaller, articulate, accentuating strokes. An emerging career artist, Anderson is breaking down barriers. Her exhibit, “Beyond Barriers,” is educating the public that persons with disabilities can do amazing things if given the opportunity. www.danaandersonart.com, facebook.com/danaandersonart.huntsville 50 Nashville, Tennessee kim barrick Chickadees s Oil s 14 " x 11 " s $850.00 s Kim Barrick Nap s Oil s 8" x 10 " s $550.00 s Kim Barrick Kim Barrick is as diverse and complex as the work she creates.

  • VINCENT VAN GOGH Early Life Vincent Van Gogh Was Born on March 30, 1853 in the Netherlands
    DIRECTIONS: Read the following artist biographies. Answer the multiple choice, True/False, and matching questions on a separate sheet of paper. Make sure to put your name and class number at the top! VINCENT VAN GOGH Early Life Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in the Netherlands. Both his father and grandfather were ministers, but other family members worked in the art world, including his mother. Vincent had three brothers and two sisters. Young Adult Vincent enjoyed drawing as a young child, but had several other jobs before he decided to become a full-time artist. He worked as a teacher in London, and later as a minister. His other jobs included a book store attendant, an art gallery attendant, and a missionary. Around age 27, Vincent decided to devote himself fully to art. Early Art Vincent first began sketching pictures with pencils or charcoal sticks, and also used some watercolors. He liked drawing pictures of poor, hardworking people. He eventually started using oil paints. Van Gogh used a lot of dark colors, like browns and dark greens, in his early art career. His pictures were typically somber. One of his famous early paintings was called The Potato Eaters, a dark picture of a peasant family eating potatoes at dinner. Letters The majority of what is known about van Gogh comes from letters he wrote to his favorite brother, Theo, who worked in a Paris art gallery and supported Vincent’s art career. Theo sent money to Vincent and encouraged his brother’s artwork. Theo attempted to sell Vincent’s paintings, but no one was interested.

  • Strange Bedfellows, Van Gogh and Gauguin, Smithsonian, Dec200.Pdf
    1 STRANGE BEDFELLOWS A new exhibition tracks the turbulent nine weeks that artists Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin lived and painted together in the south of France By Joseph Harriss, Smithsonian, December, 2001 "MY DEAR GAUGUIN," SAID A CONTRITE, SOBER VINCENT van Gogh, "I have a vague memory that I offended you last evening." The offense having been nothing more than a glassful of absinthe thrown at his head, Paul Gauguin readily forgave his high-strung friend. But his doubts about their two-month experiment in communal living in the Provençal town of Aries were confirmed the next night, when van Gogh, distraught over Gauguin's impending departure, ran after him in the street hurling wild accusations. Gauguin turned to confront him, whereupon van Gogh returned to the house they shared. There he used a razor to cut off part of his left ear, which he carefully wrapped and presented to a young woman at the local brothel. Van Gogh was hospitalized, and Gauguin left for Paris the next day. But after van Gogh's discharge from the hospital, he begged Gauguin in a letter not to speak ill of "our poor little yellow house." Some dreams die hard. The creative sparks that flew when these two opinionated avant-garde artists came together in the South of France is one of the most dramatic episodes in the history of art. The tense friendship and unspoken rivalry between van Gogh The vastly different artists (in self-portraits they exchanged in early and Gauguin in late 1888 in Arles produced works that October 1888 - Gauguin's is at left) engaged in an intense creative helped set the stage for much of what we know today as dialogue in the little Yellow House (with green door, on a corner, in modern art.

  • Portrait Vincent Van Gogh
    Portrait Vincent Van Gogh . Vincent was born in 1853 in the Netherlands. He tried to be preacher, a school teacher, and an art dealer before embarking on his career. Van Gogh spent 2 years sharpening his drawing skills before he allowed himself to use color or paint. He was almost entirely self-taught. His closest friend and relative was his brother Theo, and art dealer, who also supported him financially. Vincent Spent his life in poverty, choosing to spend money on paints rather than food to eat. His early paintings portrayed the lives of poor farmers and coal miners. The colors he used were dull and dark. Later, he was strongly influenced by the Impressionists of the day. With time he became much bolder in his paintings. He began to use slashing brush strokes and clear, bright colors. He was a pioneer for expressionism. Expressionists profoundly show their emotions through their paintings.
