1st Grade Art Appreciation: Mother and Child · Craftwhack

It's the second installment of Art Appreciation for Kids over here, and I am thrilled to bring you another Mother and Child presentation, but this fourth dimension for 1st graders, then information technology'southward FAR more sophisticated than the Kindergarten Female parent and Child presentation. 🙂

Let's get right to it. This one is pretty straightforward, with but some dandy questions to inquire your kids as y'all look at the images together. Feel gratuitous, of grade to keep the dialogue going if your kid is getting into information technology!

Polynesian Woman With Children
Paul Gaugin, 1901

Questions to inquire the Kids:

• What are the colors you run across get-go hither?
• How does this painting make you feel?
• Do you call up they like posing for this moving picture?
• How long exercise you lot think information technology would have to have your motion-picture show painted?
• How long do y'all call back it would take to have your pic taken with a photographic camera?
• Have you ever posed for a portrait?
• Are these people inside or exterior? How can you tell?
• Is there any action in this painting?
• What are these people looking at? How does that make you feel?

Groundwork data (for the presenter):

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), worked effectually the same fourth dimension every bit the Impressionists in France. Gauguin'due south art became increasingly abstract every bit compared to the Impressionists. He used colour in large flat areas and forsook traditional treatment of space in order to inform his work with the visual unity and symbolism he desired.

Paul Gauguin was a restless man, attracted to exotic places. Before his famous sojourn in Tahiti, he had visited Southward and Central America and lived in Brittany, French republic. In all these places, he was attracted to cultures he considered more 'archaic' and therefore, more spiritually  pure than is own.

Madonna And Child With St. John
Correggio, 1515

Questions to ask the Kids:

• What is the first color you run across here?
• Where are the most vivid, brightest, or pure colors? Are they in the front end of the painting (the foreground) or in the groundwork?
• What is this painting near?
• Do you think they know we are looking at them? Why or why non?
• Are they inside or outside? How practise you know?
• Do these children look condom here? Why?
• Exercise they wait like someone you lot've seen?
• Does the space become very far dorsum in the background?
• This is a flat surface. How does Correggio brand things look and then far away? (smaller, darker, less distinct, etc)

Groundwork Information (for the presenter)

Madonna and Child with St. John was painted about 20 years after Columbus discovered America. Correggio (1494-1534) was an Italian painter of the Loftier Renaissance.

"He lived and worked in the provincial city of Parma, executing a trunk of work that is remarkable for its creativity and sophistication, given his remoteness from the great artistic centers of Renaissance Italia."*

This painting has many of the characteristics of a typical Renaissance painting: the rounded, natural looking figures, the landscape in the background, the softness and tenderness of the figures toward one another. The ideal dazzler of the mother, the brilliant colors.

Mother and Child
Pablo Picasso, 1921

Questions to ask the Kids:

• What colors do you meet in this painting? Are they vivid or soft?
• Where are these two sitting? Are they within or outside? How can yous tell?
• What practise you call back almost the size of the mother'southward hands? Why are the mother's hands so big? …the feet and then small? …the nose and so big? Does this look like a photo?
• What kind of clothes is the mother wearing?
• Do they know we are looking at them?
• Does at that place look like at that place is a lot of space?
• How far back does the groundwork go? (Mother and child are in the foreground, behind them is the background)
• How do you lot think the mother feels virtually the child? How can you tell?
• How do you think the child feels near the mother? How can yous tell

Background information (for the presenter):

This painting is at the Art Institute of Chicago. Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Castilian artist.

"Picasso'south free energy and genius could not be independent in one way. In 1917 Picasso was asked to get to Rome to blueprint sets and costumes for a ballet troupe. Securely impressed by the aboriginal and Renaissance fine art of the city, he entered his Classical Period, during which he experimented with the forms and styles of ancient fine art, from Etruscan painting and Greek vases to Roman sculpture"*

This painting was created during Picasso'south Classical Period. Picasso has left out all the item here but we go the impression that Mother and Child are sitting with the sea and heaven behind them. The artists doesn't always have to put a lot of colour or particular in a painting to brand it interesting. He challenges the states to utilize our imagination when we wait at this painting.
