Using Michael Craig Martins work to extend your understanding of composition

This is one of Craig Martins paintings .
Make a careful copy of it. Notice how he used flat colours.
Once you have copied it write a short comment about the way he composes his work

Andre Derain.
Look at the colours Derain has used . Find out about the Art Movement called Fauvism. Explain why Derain used these colours instead of more realistic ones. Make a careful A3 copy of this

Hi all.
I hope you are keeping on with the exam work. Spend time working on your developments. Remember these are essentially compositions. Decide where you want to put the things you want to include in your final piece. To make it dramatic and exciting change the scale of things   Overlap things too, have things going off the page. Try to avoid having too much negative flat spaces.
Good luck

If you remember , I set you a homework to do a composition using number , letter and geometric shape and shading it in only using black, dark grey, light grey and white.
You could extend this and do two more but this time using different materials and techniques like collage or paint. A perfect extension of this would be to do two in colour. One using warm colours and another using cold colours.
Enjoy

Viewpoints and scale change

Look at how the angles draw your eyes into the space . Great use of shadows too. A geometric approach. Mainly cold colours, but with a little opposite colour with the warmer pink

No flat eye level viewpoints here, giving a dramatic sense of space. Great invented colours too

You should use examples to help you to compose ( develop ) your ideas as you move towards your final piece. Use the artist copies too but explain how you have done this. Keep working.
Good luck

Write an analysis about Fauvism and about the central role un naturalistic colour played in their work. Make a self Portrait using in naturalistic colours. No flesh tints . Look at how the Fauvists used vigorous brush marks and how shadows were painted in opposite colours . Compare your self portrait (A3 in size ) to your artists copy and write an analysis explaining what you have learned from Fauvism and how it has influenced your work
