POINTILLISM
Georges Seurat invented the technique known as Pointillism, which uses tiny dots instead of broad strokes to put the paint on the canvas. The individual dots of red, yellow and blue are sucked in through your eyes and mixed up in your head to create a variety of shimmering shades.

GEOMETRIC ART
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian-born artist who is often credited as being one of the first modern artists to create abstract art. Kandinsky's goal was to use brilliant color with geometric shapes, lines and points to create images that had no symbolic, figurative, or narrative elements.

• Pointillism Practice Page. Pointillism. Here's a place to point and paint.
• Pollock interactive. Dripping Art. It’s a simple click and move the mouse around affair, but the feeling of the paint splodging around is surprisingly pleasant. Each click changes the color. Enjoy!
• Mobiles, Calder style. Cinetic Art. Drag forms, create your own balanced mobile and make it move.
• Kandinsky's kaleidoscope. Geometric Art. Play around with the controls at the bottom right to create geometric art with a kaleidoscope motion!.
• Gaudi's mosaics. Observa los mosaicos del parque Güel y luego haz tú mismo un mosaico a mano (collage).
• Pixelator, "píxel" style.
• Post'it art creator. Another tool to work with píxeles.
• Kusama's world of dots. Work asYayoi Kusama.
• Pointillist paintings . This lesson is based on the pointillist technique used by artists such as Andre Derain and Georges Seurat. It introduces the pupils to a different way of painting and includes aspects of colour mixing.Pupils look at a picture painted using this technique and study parts in detail. They then have the opportunity to create their own picture using the pointillist technique and apply previous knowledge of colour mixing to this. Practical activities are then suggested to follow up the activity in groups.

Visual Elements of Art

A lot of vocabulary, but do not worry, we are going to work with the elements of art one by one:

Crochet for your portfolio: Finger Weaving

We are preparing your portfolios and, to tie up all the plastic bags together (with your assignements, vocabulary and reflection sheets inside), we decided to create a ribbon with wool. Something similar to crochet.

FINGER WEAVING:

Finger Weaving: This is a very easy way to create a ribbon because you only have to use your fingers. Here you will find the lesson in a pdf file.

We've done it with ONLY ONE FINGER! Now your are experts on the subjet!

1st A, B and C working hard!

Look these designs

AMIGURUMI
By the way, Santiago's mother (Santiago is from 1st A ESO) has lent me these wonderful crochet dolls to be displayed on our blog:

AMIGURUMI on PhotoPeach


Aren't they lovely?

This technique is called amigurumi. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features, as is typical in Japanese culture.
Here you are a wonderful blog about amigurumi, with free patterns.
