IV. ACTIVITIES A.

PRESENTATION OF THE TOPIC

1. Ask the students to explain what they understand by the term “first impression.” Have them describe the qualities of an impression. Note down their different ideas on the chalkboard. Then briefly summarize these to arrive at a definition of an impression (e.g., a quick glance, an unclear or incomplete image of something, a partial sense of what something is, etc.). 2. Explain that this particular session will present the pre-modern art movement that came to be called impressionism. And they will learn the reason why. 3. Present to the class a colored reproduction of an impressionist artwork. Give the title of the work and the name of the artist. 4. Have the class turn to page 190 of the Arts Grade 10 Learner’s Materials, and ask them to read silently the definition and general characteristics of impressionism.

DEPED COPY 5. Call on students to briefly explain the following distinct characteristics of this movement: a. Color and light b. Ordinary subjects c. Painting outdoors d. Open composition e. The influence of photography

6. Ask them to explain if the sample reproduction you had presented fits these general characteristics of an impressionist artwork or not. Have them cite details. (For example, ask them if the painting’s style appears realistic to them or not; what the subject is, if the forms are distinct; what the colors are like, etc.). 7. Have the class turn to pages 194 to 200 of the Arts Grade 10 Learner’s Materials, to see and appreciate the sample works of the great impressionist masters Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, and Vincent Van Gogh. Call on a few volunteers to express their reactions to these works.

What new techniques or styles distinguished post-impressionism from the earlier impressionism? 5. Identify 2 to 3 specific artworks where these techniques are prominently seen.

DEPED COPY C.

WHAT TO PROCESS The new color technique - Have the class do the “What to Process” activity on page 193 of the Arts Grade 10 Learner’s Materials.

To help them understand the revolutionary technique for applying color introduced by the impressionists (as seen in the painting by Delacroix), have them experiment with this simplified process: 1. Take a set of watercolors (cake type or in tubes). Choose one secondary color: orange, green, or violet. 2. Color a shape on a paper using this single secondary color. 3. Beside it, color a similar shape using strokes of the two primary colors that are combined in that particular secondary color (ex: red + yellow = orange; blue + yellow = green; red + blue = violet).

93



4. Hold the paper some distance away and ask your classmates to comment on the “impression” of the secondary color you have created and the actual color itself.

Impasto - Have the class do the “What to Process” activity on pages 200 201 of the Arts Grade 10 Learner’s Materials. Materials:

¼ illustration board or chipboard Tubes of acrylic paints (can be shared among the class members) Paintbrushes Wooden popsicle sticks Pencil Rags for clean up

Procedure:

1. Decide on a simple design for your artwork. Keep in mind what colors of paints are available to you. 2. Using a pencil, sketch in the general design on the illustration board or chipboard. 3. Apply the paints to your design with the brush, then more thickly with the popsicle sticks and, in certain spots, squeeze the paint directly from the tube. 4. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before handling or displaying the finished artwork.

Store the finished artworks for inclusion in the exhibit at the end of the quarter.

V.

GENERALIZATION Impressionism was an art movement that planted the seeds for what we now know as modern art. The movement began in Europe in the mid-1800s and introduced exciting new approaches and techniques for applying the elements of art (particularly color and texture) in ways that gave impressionist paintings a sense of energy, freshness, and intensity.

Impressionism was more concerned with capturing a sense or feel of the subject (in other words, an “impression”), rather than a realistic rendering. Thus, this movement shifted away from posed scenes created inside studios to everyday, sometimes mundane, subjects painted outdoors in natural light.

96



Among the most famous impressionist artists were Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Paul Cezanne from France; and Vincent Van Gogh from The Netherlands.

1. All the finished artworks should be labelled with original titles, the student’s name or the group members’ names, the date, and the technique used. 2. Store the finished artworks for inclusion in the exhibit at the end of the quarter.

IV. GENERALIZATION Abstractionism was another movement of modern art in Europe in the early 1900s. While expressionism was emotional, abstractionism was logical and rational. It reduced an image into geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles, textures, and fields or strokes of color — in effect, the elements of art.

Abstractionism has several sub-movements, namely: cubism, futurism, mechanical style, and nonobjectivism. Pablo Picasso is one of the foremost figures in abstract art, along with Fernand Leger and Piet Mondrian.

Guide the students in preparing their artworks for the culminating exhibit at the end of the quarter. 1. All the finished artworks should be labelled with original titles, the student’s name or the group members’ names, the date, and the technique used. 2. Store the finished artworks for inclusion in the exhibit at the end of the quarter.

IV. GENERALIZATION

By the mid-1900s, the center of Modern Art moved from Europe to America. Daring American artists came up with their own synthesis of Europe’s cubism and surrealism, known as abstract expressionism. The U.S. modern art movement has several sub-movements, namely: the New York School (which included action painting and color field painting), neodadaism, pop art, conceptual art, and op art. The foremost figure in early U.S. modern art is Jackson Pollock.

PRE-ASSESSMENT

DEPED COPY Conduct the following survey to assess what the students know or have experienced concerning installation art and performance art: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Do you know what installation art is? Have you ever seen an actual example of this type of art? If yes, what was it? Briefly describe it. Do you know what performance art is? Have you ever witnessed or watched such a form of art? If yes, what was your reaction to it and why?

III. ACTIVITIES A.

PRESENTING THE TOPIC

Ask the students if they have ever “walked through” an artwork. Explain that the “installation art” they will encounter in this lesson allows just that. Explain that the other form, called “performance art,” again makes use of the human body, gestures, and sounds to convey its message. Installation art 1. Show the photograph of installation art (if available) or refer to the examples in the Learner’s Materials. 111


2.

3.

Ask the students to show how the elements and principles of art are applied in these works and to identify the unique materials used, the location, etc. Have them interpret the themes or messages being expressed by these artworks and give their personal comments and reactions.

Performance art 1. Select five students at random and secretly instruct them to plan a one-minute, no-dialogue presentation on “ Alas Singko Na: Rush Hour!” (Example: five people waiting in a jeepney line, anxious to get a ride.) 2. Give them only five minutes to confer, and then have them make their presentation. 3. Afterwards, ask the rest of the class to interpret the theme of the presentation and to give their reactions. 4. Have them comment on whether or not it would qualify as “performance art,” as they now understand it. 5. Ask them to describe the characteristics of performance art. 6. Facilitate a discussion among the students about how these two art forms could serve as: a) forms of communication in the modern era b) forms of commentary on current issues and concerns.

Groups C and D will present performance art. Groups A and B: Installation Art Give the group members the following instructions: 1. The group members will brainstorm on the concept of an installation work to be constructed within the school grounds. 2. As a group, gather creative and innovative materials for the planned installation and bring these to your chosen work area. 3. Together, assemble the materials to construct your installation. 4. Give the work a thought-provoking title and label it accordingly. 5. All the groups will then take a tour of the installations created by the others. 6. Hold a discussion on how the finished works made the class members feel and think; and whether they consider these good examples of installation art or not.

DEPED COPY Groups C and D: Performance Art Give the group members the following instructions: 1. The group members will brainstorm on the concept of a performance art presentation. 2.

WHAT TO UNDERSTAND

Have the class answer the What to Understand questions on page 228 of the Arts Grade 10 Learner’s Materials:

113


1. Do installation art and performance art exemplify the qualities of modern art? If yes, in what ways do they do so? 2. Do art forms like these serve a purpose in today’s world? Explain your opinion. 3. Select two examples of installation art in the Learner’s Materials and describe your reaction to it — whether positive or negative, or a bit of both. 4. Do you think you would enjoy experiencing performance art? Why or why not? 5. Compare your former views on what art is with what you now see in installation art and performance art. Have your views changed? In what way?

IV. GENERALIZATION Installation art is a modern art form that generally produces works large enough for the viewers to interact with (e.g., walk through, touch objects, feel textures, hear sounds, see lights and motion, etc.). It can be located indoors or outdoors, and makes unique and innovative use of everyday objects and materials.

DEPED COPY Performance art is a form in which the actions of a person or group of persons in a particular place and at a particular time constitute the work. This may take place in a public or private place, indoors or outdoors. It may last a few minutes or several hours. The production may be very bare or very lavish.

Both of these modern art forms seek to capture the viewers’/audience’s attention, make a statement, convey a message in unconventional, sometimes humorous, occasionally shocking ways.
