Good project for reviewing the primary colors and learning to mix
and use secondary colors and tinting/shading through the use of white/black
while exploring the individual artistic style of Paul Gauguin.
| level: Nov/Int/Adv |
product(s): Jazz liquid tempera, Jr. Jazz 'truly washable', Jazz
School, or Jazz Gloss |
materials:
- Jazz paint in red, yellow and blue (black and white for doing tinting/shading)
- white paper
- pencil or chalk
- assorted paint brushes
- paint trays
- water
- newspaper
|
procedure:
- cover work area with newspaper
- draw a landscape that could be seen on a tropical island (like Gauguin's
Tahiti) filling in the background and putting a large figure, tree or island
structure in the foreground
- using only primary colors, mix the secondary colors desired to paint
in the scene (orange, green, purple) adjusting the tint or shade with white/black

handy hints:
Discuss the artist and view his artwork. Show pictures of island scenes
beforehand or encourage the students to draw from memories of vacations
they may have taken to island locations. |
