Architectural rendering
This document discusses the rendering styles of several famous architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier, and Renzo Piano. It explains that architectural rendering involves creating two-dimensional images of proposed architectural designs. The styles and preferred media of each architect are described, with some using hand-drawn techniques like watercolor and pencil, and others favoring computer-generated rendering. The document aims to highlight how individual architects have their own distinctive approaches to visualizing and presenting architectural designs.

This document provides an overview of New Zealand painter Shane Cotton including key features of his work and influences. Cotton explores both Maori and European imagery and concepts in his monochromatic, grid-based paintings. Symbols in his work represent issues related to colonization such as the containment of indigenous culture. Influences on Cotton's style include McCahon's grid structures and Fomison's somber color schemes.
Grunge
Grunge style involves dirty, grimy, and sometimes ugly visual elements that create a dominant position on the page. Key aspects of grunge include using fading bright colors against dull backgrounds and incorporating subtle dirty textures. While grunge may reference dirtiness, it can also represent self-expression and a rebellion against clean, hyper-designed styles. In the 1980s, designers like David Carson popularized grunge's chaotic experimentation, though it later faded as viewers preferred cleaner designs again.
Art final presentation
The document discusses several abstract artists including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Jonathan Saiz, and Franz Kline. It analyzes key aspects of each artist's style and career, noting their experimentation with techniques like cubism that used geometric shapes and linear forms. While each artist had a unique perspective, their pieces shared visual similarities through inspiration or chance, with implied lines and bold edges that guide the eye around the canvas. The installation would feature the paintings hanging on geometric white walls in a room with dimmed lighting, spotlighting the artworks against a gray backdrop.

Aboriginal art presentation
This document describes a cross-curricular project on Aboriginal art for a 1st year primary school class. The project incorporated lessons in art and design, literacy, geography, history, science, and music. In art, students learned about Aboriginal patterns and techniques before designing and painting their own boomerangs. In literacy, they read a story with patterned language and wrote their own version set in Australia. Other lessons included locating Australia on a map, learning about Aboriginal life, and Aboriginal musical instruments. The overarching goals were to investigate patterns, recognize them across cultures, and celebrate Aboriginal culture.
Online Art 1 Teaching Portfolio
The document outlines an art teacher's teaching portfolio, describing various projects and lessons they have taught students over the course of the year. The projects cover a range of mediums including newspaper collages, self-portraits, black history month celebrations, printmaking, logos, caricatures, comic strips, photography collages, mixed media, painting, sculpture, and service learning projects.

What´s a self portrait
A self-portrait is a painting of an artist by themselves. Many famous artists like Frida Kahlo, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali have painted self-portraits by carefully observing their faces in a mirror and depicting the shape, size, and position of the different parts of their own face. The document encourages readers to try drawing their own self-portrait using a mirror.
Cubism 101
A general introduction to Cubism with ideas of task to complete. Fairly basic, hopefully useful as a starting point.
Aboriginal art and symbols
Aboriginal art was traditionally created to tell important stories and pass down cultural knowledge through generations. It served as a language to convey complex meanings and lessons through symbols and designs painted on natural materials. While Aboriginal art still takes inspiration from traditional stories, it is now often painted on canvas and uses dot painting techniques to represent symbols and hide secret messages within the artwork.
Cubism
Cubism was an influential early 20th century avant-garde art movement founded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Rejecting traditional perspective techniques, Cubist artists fractured objects into geometric forms, exploring subjects from multiple viewpoints at once. Between 1907-1921, Picasso and Braque developed Cubism through the Analytic phase, reducing objects to their basic planes and angles, and the Synthetic phase incorporating collage materials into paintings. Their Cubist paintings reflected modern life through motifs like musical instruments and newspapers. Other notable Cubists included Juan Gris, who employed more naturalistic techniques, and Jean Metzinger. Cubism radically changed how artists represented the visual world.
Blockprinting Powerpoint
Ukiyo-e was a style of woodblock printing that developed in Japan during a period of peace and prosperity. Artists like Hokusai and Hiroshige created detailed, multi-colored prints depicting scenes of everyday life that became popular among the growing middle class. These prints were later discovered in Paris and influenced European artists. Vincent Van Gogh was among those who collected and studied Japanese prints, copying their style. Today, block printing continues through artists like Dietrich Varez, who carries on the traditional technique.
Cubism
Cubism began in 1907 in Paris and was pioneered by Picasso and Braque. They developed analytic, synthetic, and hermetic phases of Cubism over time. Cubist works depicted objects from multiple perspectives and planes at once rather than a single viewpoint. Key characteristics included geometrization of forms, using color as local tones rather than realistically, and dissolving volumes. Later synthetic Cubism incorporated collage and real materials into paintings, influencing Dada and Futurism. Other major Cubists included Juan Gris, Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, and Fernand Léger.
Collage
Artists create collages by cutting out shapes from paper and gluing them onto a surface to form a new image or pattern. To make a collage, you need scissors, paper, and glue, and you choose a topic to depict by cutting out positive and negative shapes from paper and arranging them on a background. The document provides instructions on how to make a collage, including examples of collages made by famous artists like Picasso and Matisse.
Cubism Presentation (for real this time)
Cubism was the first abstract art movement developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the early 20th century. They were influenced by Paul Cézanne's geometric shapes and multiple perspectives in paintings as well as African masks. Cubist works depict objects from various angles simultaneously on a two-dimensional surface using geometric forms rather than realistic rendering. Early Cubist works incorporated collage elements, while later analytical Cubism reduced forms to basic shapes and synthetic Cubism reintroduced more color and discernible subjects. Other notable Cubist artists included Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Robert Delaunay, and Marcel Duchamp.
Picasso analytical cubism
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor who founded Analytical Cubism between 1908-1912 in France. Analytical Cubism involves deconstructing or breaking down forms into basic geometric shapes and analyzing how an image can be observed from different viewpoints. One of Picasso's portraits from 1910 is analyzed as an example, identifying the geometric shapes like diamonds, rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms that make up the portrait. The document provides steps for a Cubism art project that breaks an image into geometric shapes and colors to recreate the image in Picasso's Cubist style.
Collage and-photo montage
Collage and photomontage developed as art forms in the early 20th century. Artists such as Picasso, Braque, and German Dada artist Hannah Hoch incorporated cut and pasted materials like newspaper clippings and advertisements into their works. Max Ernst and Kurt Schwitters created surreal and conceptual collages using found objects. In the 1970s, David Hockney began creating photomontages by combining multiple photographs. Richard Hamilton also incorporated manipulated photographs into his pop art collages exploring the relationship between high and low art.

Graffiti art
The document discusses the history and origins of graffiti. It traces graffiti back to ancient Rome, where political statements and satire were scratched onto walls. The word "graffiti" comes from the Italian word "graffiato," meaning scratched. While sometimes viewed as vandalism, graffiti has also been considered a form of art and political expression throughout history. Modern graffiti emerged in New York in the 1970s, where artists would tag trains as a way to gain exposure and mark their territory across the city. The document explores both the legal and illegal aspects of graffiti and provides tips for creating graffiti-style lettering on paper.
Development and influences of street art
Street art began as graffiti in the early 20th century with gangs tagging walls in New York. Kyselak is considered the "father of graffiti" for spreading his name throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the early 19th century. Graffiti became popular in New York in the 1960s-1970s as people tagged their names and street numbers. Street art is now defined as using techniques like stencils or stickers to convey a message beyond just tagging, and influences include early hobos drawing images. Technology now allows street artists to gain popularity by sharing their work online.
