Express Yourself: Using Color Schemes, Cameras, and Computers
Lott, Debra
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v105 n1 p44-46 Sep 2005
Self-portraiture is a great project to introduce the study of color schemes and Expressionism. Through this drawing project, students learn about identity, digital cameras, and creative art software. The lesson can be introduced with a study of Edvard Munch and Expressionism. Expressionism was an art movement in which the intensity of the artist's emotions was stressed over the tradition of naturalism. It also emphasized distortions of line, shape and color. Munch's "The Scream" is one of the most powerful visual symbols and one of the best known examples of Expressionism. In this article, the author provides ideas on how to integrate Expressionism into an art project.
