Painting: Expressionism and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
As part of the Places and Spaces unit you will paint an image of the College in the style of the Fauves. Before we get started, it is a really good idea to observe and analyse the work of the Fauves. Reading a little more about their stylistic approaches and aims will help inform and enhance your own artmaking.
Task One
1.View the PowerPoint presentation on Fauvsim, taking brief notes as you go. 2. Then, write an analysis of Derain's "London Bridge,Winter" from the Frames. Do a Google search to find a clear image of the artwork. Use the Frames analysis sheet that has been provided in class. Write your analysis in your Visual Arts Process Diary.
