art tools, materials, and techniques, used in the painting process
and demonstrate understanding of their proper and safe use and

them with a brush and paint;
- Identify
types of lines in art works (e.g., horizontal, vertical, diagonal);
- Identify
and describe a variety of textures as
we use the paint application process to create them, and what
emotional response they evoke;
Picture Concepts

- Demonstrate
awareness that the overlapping of shapes is one way of creating
the illusion of depth;
- Atmospheric
perspective;
- Linear
perspective;

Specific Expectations:

|
|
Tom
Thompson, "West Wind"
|
| By
re-creating this beautiful painting, students will learn how
overlapping shapes create depth. They will also see an example
of atmospheric perspective and see how warm colours come forward
and cool colours recede. Student will also enjoy learning
how to use their brushes to apply paint to create some exciting
textures. |

Claude
Monet , "Water Lilies" |
| This
is a slightly more complex example of Monet's famous water
lily garden paintings. Recreating this painting will expose
students to aspects of linear perspective, along with all
of the fun aspects of textural paint application and colour
gradations. |
|
| |
|
A.
Y Jackson, "North Shore Lake Superior"
|
| This
beautiful painting by Group of Seven member A. Y. Jackson
will teach students about analogous colour themes and how
to create colours of different intensities. We will discuss
the qualities of light and patterns and shapes. |
|
| |
|
Arthur
Lismer , "Saint Hilarion" |
| This
is an excellent painting to re-create to teach students about
linear perspective. We will be analyzing the overall shapes
in the landscape, simplifying them and seeing how linear perspective
was used to create the exciting sense of undulating depth.
We will also discuss how the landscape elements were abstracted
and simplified to create pleasing patterns. |

Vincent
Van Gough, "Starry Night" |
| This
famous painting by Vincent Van Gough makes a fantastic lesson
for students and will teach them lots of fun paint application
techniques as well as how to create an exciting composition
using rhythm, line, colour and placement. |
|
| |
|
Claude
Monet, "The Church of Santa Maria della Salute, Venice " |
| Here
is another exciting painting by Monet that will help students
learn both linear and atmospheric perspective. Students will
also have lots of fun with the colour mixing and textual paint
application. |
