I can demonstrate an understanding of perspective by creating a 3D paper room that shows depth and dimension.
I can recreate elements of Van Gogh's room painting using paper, capturing the colors and style characteristic of his artwork.
I can use various paper techniques to construct furniture and decorative items that will populate my 3D room.
I can arrange the elements within my room compositionally, ensuring that they relate to the perspective of the space.
I can reflect on how the use of color and line in Van Gogh’s work influences my own creation.
3D (Three-Dimensional): Having height, width, and depth; providing a sense of volume in artwork.
Composition: The arrangement of visual elements within a work of art; how objects are placed and organized.
Color Palette: A selection of colors used in a work of art; in this project, students will focus on Van Gogh's use of color.
Depth: The apparent distance from front to back in an artwork, which can be created using perspective techniques.
Line: A mark made by a tool, used to define shapes, create textures, and convey movement or direction in art.
Perspective: A technique used to represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, creating an illusion of depth.
Van Gogh: Vincent Van Gogh, a post-impressionist painter known for his expressive use of color and bold brushwork, particularly in works like "The Bedroom."
Website Review Assignment: Please complete and submit
The following National and State Art Standards were covered in the unit:
Creating:
Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. (Students will explore concepts and ideas for their 3D paper rooms based on Van Gogh's artwork.)
Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. (Students will demonstrate the ability to create a well-structured composition using perspective in their artwork.)
Presenting:
Anchor Standard 5: Develop and refine artistic techniques and work for presentation. (Students will apply techniques in paper construction and painting to present their 3D rooms.)
Responding:
Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work. (Students will analyze the use of color, line, and perspective in Van Gogh's artwork as well as in their own creations.)
Anchor Standard 8: Interpret intent and meaning in artistic work. (Students will reflect on how their understanding of Van Gogh's style influences their own artistic choices.)
Connecting:
Anchor Standard 11: Relate artistic ideas and work with societal, cultural, and historical contexts to deepen understanding. (Students may explore the cultural significance of Van Gogh and how his environment influenced his artwork.)
Creating:
Standard 1: Students will apply the creative process to create works of art. (This includes utilizing techniques of perspective and color application in their 3D projects.)
Connecting:
Standard 4: Students will understand and demonstrate how art connects to history and culture. (Students will explore Van Gogh’s impact on the art world and how his life experiences influenced his art.)
Responding:
Standard 5: Students will analyze and interpret works of art. (Students will evaluate the use of perspective, color, and composition in both Van Gogh’s work and their own creations.)
Presenting:
Standard 3: Students will analyze and describe the visual characteristics of artworks. (Students will discuss elements such as composition, perspective, and color usage in their 3D paper room designs.)
