- Use KWL: what do you KNOW about the subject (of the book we are going through); then what do you WANT to know, and finally, what have your LEARNT (after everything)]]> 2017-01-16 04:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147281788 https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147282250 What I already know: 
- it always has a deeper meaning
- there are different ways to interpret it
- there's no one correct answer to what the art is about
- a picture speaks a thousand words



What I wonder:
Why do people like this stuff?
Why does it matter what it means




What I have learnt :
- Vasya probably had synestesia 
- many people did not understand Vasya's art at first 
-to create new ideas you have to go against the norm

- messy
- colourful
- indirect meaning

W
- why it exists
- who started it
- why do people like it

L
- vase kadinsky was tired of doing what everyone wanted him to do and was sick of being part of the stereotypical artist group
- vase kadinsky
- it's has different meaning for everybody, everyone interprets the art differently]]> 2017-01-16 04:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147282266 https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147282393 What I Know:
It's supposed to make you feel something. 
The subject might not be concrete.
It can be messy, but it's the beautiful kind of messy. 
It's just entirely up to you to interpret.

What I Wonder: 
What are the technicalities of making such a piece of art? Are there any rules involved? What inspires someone to make an abstract piece of art? Can I make a piece of abstract art? What's the difference between a doodle/random work and abstract art?

What I Learnt:
Technicalities: did not cover much in the book; a lot of different shades of different colours to be used
Rules: they break away from the traditional art, so rules are different
Inspires: everything and anything can inspire you. As long as it's something you love. 
Can I: yes!
Difference: ???

-random
-spontaneous
-open to interpretation
-messy
-Optimises different art techniques

WANT TO KNOW
-what are the different techniques
-what makes abstract art priceless

Learn:
-art should not just be seen but felt
-the better the abstract art, the better it is is at conveying or evoking different emotions in different viewers]]> 2017-01-16 04:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147282416 https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147282417 Know:
Cubism, Pointillism, Use of space, Subjective

Wonder:
How do people come up with it?
Is there a "right" way to interpret art?
What is considered abstract? What is considered art? :O

Learnt:
There is no right way to interpret art. People come up with abstract art based on their feelings and emotions. Abstract art has no concrete subject. Art refers to any form of creative expression.]]> 2017-01-16 04:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thx2/vzf281bf10r7/wish/147282417
