Activity 5 Identifying painting styles
Look at the paintings below and identify each painting style. Explain how you know.
Suggested answers:
The first picture (The Music, 1939 Henri Matisse) is Modern Art. It has bright and vivid colours. The shapes of the women and objects are not realistic. It is a similar style to paintings by other modern artists such as Picasso.
The second picture (The Ballet Class, 1871-1874, Edgar Degas) is an Impressionist painting. It shows a moment captured. One can feel the movement before and after. The colours and brush strokes are also a similar style to other works of Impressionism.
The third picture (The Arnolfini Portrait, 1434, Jan van Eyck) is a classic portrait and is most likely an example of Renaissance art. The couple were probably wealthy and paid for the portrait. There are many features in the painting that seem to have deeper meaning, which is a similar style to other Renaissance works.
Step 3 Projects
Activity 6 Project: Doing (Role-playing) a talk show about an artist
You are going to make a role-play of a talk show which has a famous artist as the guest.
1. In groups, brainstorm a list of famous artists and their representative works. Use the three pictures to get some ideas.
2. Read a sample talk show about an artist to get some inspiration.
A sample:
H: Talk Show Host A: Artist (Salvador Dali) M: Artist’s mother
F: Artist’s father T: Artist’s teacher C: Art critic
H: Today I am very honoured to welcome the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali to our studio. First, tell us a little about your life and how you first became an artist.
A: At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since. I love art, but painting is really a small part of who I am.
H: Interesting. Confidence is an important quality for an artist! What is your philosophy towards art, and which do you think are your most representative works?
A: One should strive for perfection but accept one will never reach it. As for Surrealism, it is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision. A key work of mine is The persistence of Memory. In it, I challenge the idea that time is a hard and unchanging thing, symbolised by what some people call my “melting watches”.
H: Fascinating. Welcome also to your mother, Felipa. What was Salvador like growing up?
M: He showed a keen interest in art and artistic talent from a young age, so I always tried to encourage him to pursue art.
H: This is Man Ray, a fellow surrealist artist and long-time friend of Dali. How did you first meet Salvador? What is he like as a friend?
F: We first met in Paris with other surrealist artists. He is a loyal friend and very committed to his art. He always gets everyone’s attention because he is eccentric in what he wears and does. He is fun to be around.
H: Finally, we welcome the respected art critic and author, Luis Romero. How is Dali’s work received critically?
C: Although his work is often controversial, behind the outrageous images, there is great artistic skill. He is clearly influenced by Renaissance art styles.
H: Well, thank you all for your time today, and special thanks to Dali for your amazing body of work that has inspired and brought wonder to so many people over the years.
3. Decide on which artist your group is going to talk about. Choose one person to be the talk show host, one person to be the artist, and the remaining members to be a family member, a friend, a teacher, or an art critic. Have each person do research on the artist and prepare notes on what he/she will say.
4. Now role-play your talk show before your class.
