How Life Imitates Art and Art Imitates Life



As a result of the Industrial Revolution, the turn of the century marks a time of change that literally affected every aspect of daily life. Our first eight week art unit will be an exploration of this period in history through the eyes of Pablo Picasso, Toulouse Lautrec, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall.

As we cover these art history topics we will also learn about the elements and principals of Art, discuss their effects on composition and learn how to use them to create a variety of effects in our own art.  With each artist we will focus on a specific element.
Picasso - Form
Lautrec - Line
Matisse - Shape
Chagall - Color
