| Grade 4 . Pop art. These are our Lines of Inquiry.
General Overview of Pop Art Pop Art is art made from commercial items and cultural icons such as product labels, advertisements, and movie stars. Pop Art is meant to be fun. When was the Pop Art movement? Pop Art began in the 1950s, but became very popular in the 1960s. It started in the United Kingdom, but became a true art movement in New York City with artists like Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. What are the characteristics of Pop Art? Pop Art uses images and icons that are popular in the modern world. This includes famous celebrities like movie stars and rock stars, commercial items like soup cans and soft drinks, comic books, and any other items that are popular in the commercial world. There are a number of ways that artists use these items to create art such as repeating the item over and over again, changing the color or texture of the item, and putting different items together to make a picture.

| Andre Derrain.Fauve style This view of the Thames from London Bridge is one of four works painted by Derain, showing the same part of the river. At this time he was a leading member of the Fauve group of painters in Paris. He had been sent to London by his dealer, Vollard. The idea was to update, in Fauve style, the popular Thames views painted by Claude Monet a few years earlier. Strongly-coloured and freely-handled, this painting is characteristic of Fauvism in creating vivid effects through bold contrasts of colour. February 2009  Georges Seurat. Pointillist style CHRACTERISTICS OF FAUVE ART | |
Fauvists used exaggerated colors when painting subjects. In fact, color was the most important aspect of a fauvist painting, with the subject taking a backseat. For example, when painting a portrait of a woman with very dark hair, a fauvist might choose to use blue in the hair to show just how dark it was. He might use yellow for the skin instead of a carefully mixed bronze. Shadows might be drawn in greens and purples instead of grey.

How artists use space as an element of art.
- How space is classified as either positive or negative.
- Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground, and refers to the distances or area(s) around, between, and within things.
- Space is an illuison in 2d art and is applied in various ways to create space in their work
We looked at Van Gogh's painting of his bedroom and identified 4 ways in which the artist created space
One point perspective where all lines go towards a vanishing point on the horizon line.
OVERLAPPING.
Objects can overlapped to create space
SIZE
VALUE.
Things get lighter in color in the distance.
