Alexander calder
Alexander Calder was an American artist born in 1898 into a family of artists. He is famous for inventing the mobile, kinetic sculptures made of metal that moved and balanced in space. Even as a child, Calder showed an artistic talent and set up his own art studio by age 8 where he enjoyed making moving metal animals and sculptures.
Aboriginal art grade 2
Aboriginal art originated in Australia and is an important part of Aboriginal culture and spirituality. It tells stories from the Dreamtime using symbols and earth colors to represent natural elements and spiritual beings. Aboriginal art often features dots and handprints, with the hand symbolizing a connection to the land. Rock art sites across Australia provide insight into Aboriginal history, wildlife, and beliefs through pictures made directly on rock surfaces.
Claes oldenburg
Claes Oldenburg was a Swedish-American sculptor best known for his large-scale public sculptures and soft sculptures made of vinyl, fabric, and other materials. Some of his most famous works include Soft Bathtub, Two Cheeseburgers, and Spoonbridge and Cherry, a giant sculpture he created with his wife in Minneapolis. Oldenburg designed colossal sculptures that can be found in cities around the world like Tokyo, Kansas City, Pennsylvania, Cologne, and Cleveland.
Surrealism
Surrealism sought to free the imagination and tap into the unconscious mind. It featured bizarre, dreamlike subject matter and was influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis. Two main types of Surrealists existed: those who created art automatically to depict the subconscious, and those like Dali and Magritte who used everyday objects placed in impossible contexts. Key figures like Dali, Magritte, and Miro used surrealism to comment on the human condition and realities beyond the obvious.
Alexander Calder
Alexander Calder was an American sculptor and artist born in 1898 in Pennsylvania. He is known for inventing mobiles, moving sculptures made of weighted objects that are balanced to move freely in response to air currents. Calder made play and movement the major themes of his art over his 50-year career. He created sculptures out of unusual materials like wire, wood, and sheet metal. Some of his most famous mobiles and sculptures include "Mobile", "Devil Fish", "Mercury Fountain", and "Five Swords". Calder had a childlike view of the world that was reflected in his innovative and interactive kinetic artworks.
Pop Art
Pop Art began in the 1950s in England and depicted modern consumer culture and popular media through the use of techniques like silkscreening and repetition of images on subjects like celebrities and commercial items. Key artists included Andy Warhol, known for works like Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Diptych, Roy Lichtenstein, who used comic book imagery, and Jasper Johns, who painted everyday objects to challenge notions of what constituted art. While controversial at the time, Pop Art is now widely appreciated for how it mocked artistic conventions and changed perceptions of high versus low art.
Masks around the world
Masks are used around the world for various ceremonies and traditions. In Africa, masks are used for village ceremonies, weddings, funerals, and coming of age rituals and represent spirits to ask for blessings and protection. Native Americans used ceramic masks for war, while masks in places like Bolivia, Costa Rica, and Peru depict animals and spirits. Masks in places like Polynesia, China, and India are used for communicating with gods, warding off evil, and representing religious figures to cure diseases. In the U.S., masks are commonly used for Halloween, Mardi Gras, performances, and parades to pretend to be different characters and tell stories.

DADAISM
The Dada art movement originated in Zurich, Switzerland during World War I as a protest against nationalism and bourgeois values through anti-art works incorporating chance, nonsense, and found objects. Key figures included Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, Hans Arp, Max Ernst, Man Ray, and Kurt Schwitters, who created works across mediums like painting, collage, sculpture, photography, and performance that challenged artistic conventions. Dada sought to represent the chaos of the postwar period through absurdist, ironic, and provocative creations.
Barbara Hepworth
Barbara Hepworth was an influential English sculptor in the 20th century known for her abstract works. She pioneered sculpting the inside of materials rather than just modeling the outside. Many of her sculptures were made of materials like wood, stone, and bronze. Her piece "Two Forms" represented the concept of maternity with two related forms. Students created non-figurative sculptures in pairs exploring the concept of friendship, attempting to represent the relationship between two pieces through their design, inspired by Hepworth's emphasis on the relationship between forms.
Claes oldenburg 1
Claes Oldenburg was a Swedish-American artist known for his large-scale soft sculptures and "happenings" that blurred the lines between art and everyday life. He moved to New York in the 1950s and began transforming mundane objects through scale, materials, and absurdist recontextualization. His 1961 exhibition "The Store" featured oversized, brightly painted versions of consumer goods that challenged notions of art. Throughout his career, Oldenburg drew inspiration from American popular culture, seeking to imbue objects with humanity and inject whimsy into perceptions of the familiar.

Conceptual art
Conceptual art emerged in the mid-1960s and early 1970s as a reaction against formalism. It emphasizes ideas and concepts over the creation of traditional art objects. Conceptual artists use images, objects, and text to convey ideas and get viewers to think about the meaning and definition of art. Key figures like Joseph Kosuth, Damien Hirst, and Tracy Emin created conceptual works that pushed boundaries and provoked questions about the nature of art.
Georges Seurat Pointillism
Georges Seurat was a French painter born in 1859 who is best known for inventing the pointillism technique of painting. Pointillism uses small dots or touches of different colors that are blended by the eye of the observer. Seurat's most famous painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, took him two years to complete using this technique and measures 6'10" x 10'1" in size.
Jime dine heart powerpoint
Jim Dine is an American pop artist known for his series of paintings and sculptures featuring hearts.

He often uses color contrast schemes of warm and cool colors opposite each other on the color wheel. The document provides examples of Dine's heart art and discusses objectives for students to learn about pop art, creating patterns, expressing personality through color, and developing their own heart composition using different materials and styles.
Op art
Victor Vasarely was a French painter considered one of the first Op Art artists, exploring optical illusions through precise patterns and colors that gave the illusion of movement. As a commercial artist and graphic designer, he first experimented with black and white works before incorporating color to make parts of his geometric images seem to bulge or vibrate against their backgrounds. Vasarely's paintings and graphics reached their peak popularity and influence in the 1960s and 1970s as Op Art rose in the United States and Europe.

The visual elements of an image 1_POINT
The document discusses the basic visual elements of images. It states that a point is the smallest visual element, and has no dimensions of height, width or depth. It explains that even a single point on a blank page sparks the brain to derive meaning and see relationships, and that two points will be automatically connected to see a line, while three points will be interpreted as a triangle. It provides some examples of art styles and works that utilize points as visual elements, such as Impressionism, Pointillism, and the works of Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky.

Alexander Calder began his career as an engineer before discovering his passion for art and sculpture. He was heavily influenced by abstract art and began creating moveable sculptures and props for his miniature circus. In 1931, he started making his first suspended moving sculptures called "mobiles" which were originally powered by motors but later moved by wind. Calder constructed mobiles by cutting abstract shapes from sheet metal and wire, carefully arranging and balancing the pieces as he added new branches.
