  • Classroom Activity ART-BUYING PLAN
    Classroom Activity ART-BUYING PLAN Determine your criteria for selecting an art piece(s) based on: 1) Theme (something that’s meaningful to the school) 2) Physical display of the art piece at the school 3) Media to be selected Theme Questions to consider while exploring a theme: • What are some of the core values of your school? • Are there any human characteristics that describe your school? • Think of words that describe the spirit of your school or student body. • What is the cultural representation of your student body? • What are your school colors? What do they mean to you and your school? Examples of ART MOVEMENTS: • Abstract Art: An artist tells a story or expresses an idea through color, form, line, etc. in the absence of realistic details. Valerie Willson, On Top of the World, oil on paper • Abstract Expressionism: Freedom of expression and exploring the subconscious. Many artists associated with this movement work quickly and apply paint in unconventional ways such as pouring or splattering paint directly onto the surface. This allows chance and accident to play a significant role in the creation. Jackson Pollock, Convergence, oil on canvas • Contemporary Art: Art that is produced by artists who are living in the twenty- first century. Art that is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subject matter. Katherine Allen Coleman, And the Rains Came, mixed media/painting • Figurative/ Representational: Describes the opposite of abstract and is anything that depicts a subject taken from life, be it a landscape, objects, a still life or the human figure. Aaron Hequembourg, Blaise Tiger, Mixed Media • Pop Art: This work explores popular mass culture and the products of consumerism and capitalism.

    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts Robb Woulfe, Breckenridge Creative Arts 970 453 3187 ext 1 | [email protected] Nancy Rebek, NRPR 303 941 2527 | [email protected] STREET ARTS FESTIVAL RETURNS TO BRECKENRIDGE AS PART OF HOLIDAY WEEKEND ACTIVITIES Festival runs July 2–4 at the Breckenridge Arts District Featuring outdoor murals, installations, performances and free workshops BRECKENRIDGE, CO (June 23, 2016) – Breckenridge Creative Arts is pleased to announce the return of its 3-day Street Arts Festival as part of the Fourth of July weekend activities in Breckenridge. Now in its second year, the festival, which runs July 2–4 from 12 pm to 4 pm each day, transforms the downtown Breckenridge Arts District, from Ridge Street along Washington Avenue to Main Street, into a place where community artists of all ages gather—joining established graffiti, chalk, hip-hop, and breakdance artists—to make art. “Drawing with chalk and playing with paint is very nostalgic,” said Robb Woulfe, president of Breckenridge Creative Arts, the producer of the Street Arts Festival. “It brings back memories so many of us share. We think this is great opportunity for people to connect, to express themselves creatively, and also to see some excellent work by our featured artists.” Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, the Street Arts Festival features outdoor murals, installations and performances with some of the best regional and national artists working across the street arts disciplines. There will be demonstrations by graffiti artists, who will be creating family-friendly spray paint works on freestanding canvases and special cellophane strung between lampposts.

  • Art History: International Art Exhibitions
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY ART HISTORY: INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITIONS Library Guide Series, No. 42 “Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* What Is an International Art Exhibition? International art exhibitions have a long history that has its roots in the 19th century. Salon exhibitions took place in Paris from 1667 onwards under the auspices of the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture and were held on a biennial basis from 1855 onwards. That same year the Salons were held in the Palais de ‘l’Industrie constructed for the World’s Fair that year. A number of rival salons were established and in 1881 the government withdrew official support from the main Salon and handed over its direction to artists. Afterward, the Salon began to lose its prestige and influence in the face of competition from various independent exhibitions such as the Salon des Independents (1884), the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts (1890) and the Salon d’Automne (1903). The end of the 19th century was a time marked by an internationalist spirit that celebrated technological advancement and the accumulation of wealth through global colonial structures. The institution of world’s fairs was one feature of that spirit, the first one being held in London during 1851. Many of the fairs that followed throughout the 19th and 20th centuries included art buildings to display works by the current artists of the day. At times it is difficult to distinguish biennial and triennial art exhibitions from international art festivals, art fairs or trade shows. The first art fair one in the twentieth century was the 1913 Armory Show in New York which was open to progressive painters usually neglected.
