Table of Contents Page Course Description and Rationale 3 21st Century Life and Careers 4 Unit 1: Introduction to Painting: A Brief History 6 Unit 2: Color Theory 10 Unit 3: Art Movements 14 Unit 4: Painting Techniques 18 Sample Standards and Implementation 23 Course Description and Rationale Painting is the art or process of applying paints to a surface to make a picture. Intro to painting is a problem solving course dealing with the use of composition, color, texture, form and value through still life, landscape, portrait and figure paintings. This is an introductory course that covers basic painting techniques with an emphasis on classic and contemporary applications of paint; students will explore and experience a variety of painting techniques, media, and historical approaches to art. This course is designed for students that have no prior experience with paint, as well as students with limited painting skills. This course will summarize the history of painting and analyze the many different art movements, treatments and characteristics of the different painting styles. Students will learn how to mix paint, by combining different colors as well as creating different tints, tones and shades of colors (adding white, grey or black to a color). Students will learn the process of under painting with washes and slowly building up the paint in layers to create a finished painting. Students will investigate many different painting movements and styles, learning the unique characteristics of each style and be able to classify paintings upon viewing. At the end of this course students will have a strong foundation of painting, color theory, techniques and knowledge of painting styles and genres. This is designed as a semester long studio course that will be taught every other day for a total of 45 days. Each class period will be 42 minutes long; each project should be between 4-5 weeks in duration with a total of 14 – 17 class to complete any given project. Smaller projects using a 5 x 7 canvas will take less time 2 – 3 weeks. Students should start each project with thumbnail sketches to help generate ideas. The sketching process should only take maximum 1 class period and prepare students to problem solve before they start to work on the final product. 3 21st Century Life and Careers In today's global economy, students need to be lifelong learners who have the knowledge and skills to adapt to an evolving workplace and world. To address these demands, Standard 9, 21st Century Life and Careers, which includes the 12 Career Ready Practices, establishes clear guidelines for what students need to know and be able to do in order to be successful in their future careers and to achieve financial independence. The 12 Career Ready Practices These practices outline the skills that all individuals need to have to truly be adaptable, reflective, and proactive in life and careers. These are researched practices that are essential to career readiness. 9.1 Personal Financial Literacy This standard outlines the important fiscal knowledge, habits, and skills that must be mastered in order for students to make informed decisions about personal finance. Financial literacy is an integral component of a student's college and career readiness, enabling students to achieve fulfilling, financially-secure, and successful careers. 9.2 Career Awareness, Exploration, and Preparation This standard outlines the importance of being knowledgeable about one's interests and talents, and being well informed about postsecondary and career options, career planning, and career requirements. 9.3 Career and Technical Education Technology Integration 8.1 Educational Technology All students will use digital tools to access, manage, evaluate, and synthesize information in order to solve problems individually and collaborate and create and communicate knowledge. 8.2 Technology Education, Engineering, Design and Computational Thinking - Programming All students will develop an understanding of the nature and impact of technology, engineering, technological design, computational thinking and the designed world as they relate to the individual, global society, and the environment. 4 ELA Integration – The Research Simulation Task requires students to analyze an informational topic through several articles or multimedia stimuli. Students read and respond to a series of questions and synthesize information from multiple sources in order to write an analytic essay. Companion Standards - History, Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects (6- 8) 5 Unit 1: Introduction to Painting: A Brief History (7-10 Days) Why Is This Unit Important? Students will learn a brief overview of painting and its history from Paleolithic times to present day. Students will examine how painting has evolved and devolved over time undergoing many changes, from the subject matter to the technical application of the paint. Through critical analysis students will identify cultural differences in paintings from around the world. Big Ideas: Paintings have evolved and devolved over the centuries of evolution. Painting has undergone many different stylistic changes with each style having its own unique and specific characteristics. Painters have adapted to the technological modernization of the world that surrounds them. Painters had to change the way in which they use their medium. Enduring Understanding: ● Students will understand that paintings show the history of mankind and how we have evolved as a society. ● Students will distinguish different cultures through paintings. ● Students will learn that paintings show different beliefs from different cultures. ● Students will realize that paintings have changed over time due to historical events. Essential Questions: ● Do paintings serve a purpose other than being aesthetically pleasing? ● Can you determine what life was like during a certain time period by viewing paintings from that time? ● Can paintings show a timeline of historical events? ● Do paintings change with the surrounding world? ● Can paintings illustrate cultural beliefs and show socioeconomics of different countries? Acquired Knowledge: ● Evolutions of civilization - paintings show turning points in our history. ● Paintings illustrate culture beliefs as well as socioeconomic characteristics of different countries. ● Painting changes overtime with new characteristics and techniques. ● Many different forms of art borrow characteristics and details from different styles of painting. 6 Acquired Skills: ● Recognize different time periods of paintings ● Identify different cultural characteristics of paintings ● Observe ideologies from different cultures through paintings Common Misconceptions: ● All paintings are applied the same way and use the same techniques. ● Paintings serve no purpose but to be beautiful.

    Interiors and Interiority in Vermeer: Empiricism, Subjectivity, Modernism

    ARTICLE Received 20 Feb 2017 | Accepted 11 May 2017 | Published 12 Jul 2017 DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 OPEN Interiors and interiority in Vermeer: empiricism, subjectivity, modernism Benjamin Binstock1 ABSTRACT Johannes Vermeer may well be the foremost painter of interiors and interiority in the history of art, yet we have not necessarily understood his achievement in either domain, or their relation within his complex development. This essay explains how Vermeer based his interiors on rooms in his house and used his family members as models, combining empiricism and subjectivity. Vermeer was exceptionally self-conscious and sophisticated about his artistic task, which we are still laboring to understand and articulate. He eschewed anecdotal narratives and presented his models as models in “studio” settings, in paintings about paintings, or art about art, a form of modernism. In contrast to the prevailing con- ception in scholarship of Dutch Golden Age paintings as providing didactic or moralizing messages for their pre-modern audiences, we glimpse in Vermeer’s paintings an anticipation of our own modern understanding of art. This article is published as part of a collection on interiorities. 1 School of History and Social Sciences, Cooper Union, New York, NY, USA Correspondence: (e-mail: [email protected]) PALGRAVE COMMUNICATIONS | 3:17068 | DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 | www.palgrave-journals.com/palcomms 1 ARTICLE PALGRAVE COMMUNICATIONS | DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 ‘All the beautifully furnished rooms, carefully designed within his complex development.

  • The Novel As Dutch Painting

    The Novel As Dutch Painting

    one The Novel as Dutch Painting In a memorable review of Jane Austen’s Emma (1816), Walter Scott cele­ brated the novelist for her faithful representation of the familiar and the commonplace. Austen had, according to Scott, helped to perfect what was fundamentally a new kind of fiction: “the art of copying from nature as she really exists in the common walks of life.” Rather than “the splendid scenes of an imaginary world,” her novels presented the reader with “a correct and striking representation of that which [was] daily taking place around him.” Scott’s warm welcome of Emma has long been known to literary historians and fans of Austen alike. But what is less often remarked is the analogy to visual art with which he drove home the argument. In vividly conjuring up the “common incidents” of daily life, Austen’s novels also recalled for him “something of the merits of the Flemish school of painting. The subjects are not often elegant and certainly never grand; but they are finished up to nature, and with a precision which delights the reader.”1 Just what Flemish paintings did Scott have in mind? If it is hard to see much resemblance between an Austen novel and a van Eyck altarpiece or a mythological image by Rubens, it is not much easier to recognize the world of Emma in the tavern scenes and village festivals that constitute the typical subjects of an artist like David Teniers the Younger (figs. 1-1 and 1-2). Scott’s repeated insistence on the “ordinary” and the “common” in Austen’s art—as when he welcomes her scrupulous adherence to “common inci­ dents, and to such characters as occupy the ordinary walks of life,” or de­ scribes her narratives as “composed of such common occurrences as may have fallen under the observation of most folks”—strongly suggests that it is seventeenth-century genre painting of which he was thinking; and Teniers was by far the best known Flemish painter of such images.2 (He had in fact figured prominently in the first Old Master exhibit of Dutch and 1 2 chapter one Figure 1-1.

  • Eighteenth-Century Genre Painting

    Eighteenth-Century Genre Painting

    Eighteenth-Century Genre Painting ... At the end of the eighteenth century, Diderot identified genre painters indiscriminately as “those who busy themselves with only flowers, fruits, animals, woods, forests, mountains, as well as those who borrow their scenes from common or domestic life”. His definition referred to the diversity of themes treated by genre painters and also to the place occupied by their painting in the eighteenth-century scale of values. Considered inferior to history painting and religious painting, genre painting did nonetheless gain admiration from amateurs who, through their contact with Northern European art, were looking for less grandiloquent subjects. While Chardin held sway over the representation of everyday life with his intimist scenes tinged with a sense of interiority during the first half of the eighteenth century, Greuze (1725-1805) strove to bring fresh life to this genre by giving it a moralizing dimension in Room which the depiction of childhood, influenced by the philosophical spirit of the Enlightenment, Greuze was of supreme importance. Landscape painting, which belonged to the same genre, also enjoyed renewed interest during this period : under the aegis of Vernet and the link with Italy, ... artists were to reinvent classical landscapes painted on location. Neoclassicism Greuze and Moral Painting Trained under Charles Grandon, a painter from Lyon, Greuze settled in Paris around 1750 ; he bowed to Academy teaching with Natoire (1700-1777) without adhering to the official line and was accepted in 1755, the year that he presented Lazy Boy* to the Salon with its matching piece Young Knitter Asleep ... (fig.1). These works already revealed the particular care he pays to effects of matter – the texture of wood, silky hair – rendered through a limited palette of browns, white and russet inherited from the Dutch artists, Rembrandt in particular.

A large number of unsigned paintings closely resemble De Wet’s compositions and figures. At auctions they are often attributed to De Wet or his circle.
  • The Five Senses in Genre Paintings of the Dutch Golden Age

    The Five Senses in Genre Paintings of the Dutch Golden Age

    The Five Senses in Genre Paintings of the Dutch Golden Age Kitsirin Kitisakon+ (Thailand) Abstract This article aims to study one of the most popular themes in 17th-Century Dutch genre paintings - the five senses - in its forms and religious interpretations. Firstly, while two means of representation were used to clearly illustrate the subject, some genre scenes could also be read on a subtle level; this effectively means that such five senses images can be interpreted somewhere between clarity and am- biguity. Secondly, three distinct religious meanings were identified in these genre paintings. Vanity was associated with the theme because the pursuit of pleasure is futile, while sin was believed to be committed via sensory organs. As for the Parable of the Prodigal Son, party scenes alluding to the five senses can be read as relating to the episode of the son having spent all his fortune. Keywords: Five Senses, Genre Painting, Dutch Golden Age, Prodigal Son + Dr. Kitsirin Kitisakon, Lecturer, Visual Arts Dept., Faculty of Fine and Applied Art, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. The Five Senses… | 125 Introduction In the 16th and 17th Centuries, the five senses had never been more popular as subject matter for graphic art, especially in the Low Countries. Since Nordenfalk (1985), this theme has been occasionally discussed in monographs, catalogues of specific artists, or Dutch genre painting studies. Yet, an analysis of the modes of representation of the five senses seems to have been ignored, and there is a certain lack of fresh interest in their religious interpretations. From this observa- tion, this article aims to firstly examine how the five senses were represented in the Dutch genre paintings of the Golden Age, inspect how artists narrated them; secondly, reinvestigate how they can be religiously interpreted and propose deeper meanings which go beyond realistic appearance.

A Federal Agency Catalogue Designed by David Berreth Printed by The Brunswick Publishing Co. Brunswick, Maine FOREWORD This catalogue and the exhibition Nineteenth Century American Paintings at Bowdoin College begin a new chapter in the development of the Bow- doin College Museum of Art. For many years, the Colonial and Federal portraits have hung in the Bowdoin Gallery as a permanent exhibition. It is now time to recognize that nineteenth century American art has come into its own. Thus, the Walker Gallery, named in honor of the donor of the Museum building in 1892, will house the permanent exhi- bition of nineteenth century American art; a fitting tribute to the Misses Walker, whose collection forms the basis of the nineteenth century works at the College. When renovations are complete, the Bowdoin and Boyd Galleries will be refurbished to house permanent installations similar to the Walker Gal- lery's. During the renovations, the nineteenth century collection will tour in various other museiniis before it takes its permanent home. My special thanks and congratulations go to David S. Berreth, who developed the original idea for the exhibition to its present conclusion. His talent for exhibition installation and ability to organize catalogue materials will be apparent to all.
