Robert Rauschenberg

Advanced Drawing and Painting


Rauschenberg, a relevant Pop-Artist and Abstract Expressionist, gave us some very unique works of art.  As you develop your Activist Art piece it would be beneficial to take a closer look at his work. In your sketchbook write about your reaction to one of the pieces below.  What do you think Rauschenberg is trying to say?  Does his work appeal to your aesthetic?  Look carefully at the materials he uses to create his art.  Describe them.  Discover more about the work of art.  When was it created?  Did the artist reveal what the work was about? Please do some additional research to learn as much as you can about the work of art.  We will discuss your findings in class on Monday 10/29.

COLOR...and Fauvism

Intro to Drawing and Painting



What is Fauvism and who were the major artists that are associated with the movement?  Your next journal assignment is to research this movement. Look at paintings that were made by artists during the Fauvist movement.  Find one that you like or are intrigued by and write about it in your sketchbook.  Make sure you include some information about the artist that created it, as well as, the four steps of critique.  We will share what you have learned in class on Friday.
