Sumi-e Painting

 

SUMI-E is the Japanese word for Black Ink Painting. East Asian Painting and writing developed together in ancient China using the same materials —brush and ink on paper. Emphasis is placed on the beauty of each individual stroke of the brush. The Chinese speak of “writing a painting” and “painting a poem.”

Saying a lot with a little.

Self-Portraits

A self portrait is a work of art that shows an image of an artist, made by the artist.  When you make a self-portrait, you are showing people what you look like and something about you too.

Artists often created art that used themselves as subjects.  Sometimes portraits will be the whole body and sometimes portraits just show just the face of the subject.  

How does an artist know what she looks like?  

What can an artist use to help her see what she looks like?

Vincent van Gogh

Mary Cassatt

Frida Kahlo

Pinch Pots

 

Simple clay vessels such as bowls and cups of various sizes can be formed and shaped by hand using a methodical pinching process in which the clay walls are thinned by pinching them with thumb and forefinger. It is a basic pot making method often taught to young children or beginners.

First grade will create a pinch pot.
