Famous Works Nude Sitting on a Divan Madame Pompadour Jeanne Hébuterne in Red Shawl
The Style Expressionist Portraits Modern Elongated face and features Tilted head Dark pastels
The Lesson Plan • The Lesson: • Show students some of Modigliani’s work • Discuss common features of paintings • Establish criteria as a class • Model your own • Let them Play
Materials Pastels Construction Paper Projector Computer
Why Teach Modigliani? • Opportunity to use pastels • Chance for less artistically inclined students to shine • Creativity built-in • Show students a style of art that feels easy to replicate
I Like the Idea, but I Want More Create a self-portrait mini unit • Present students with a number of famous portrait artists from various eras • Have them emulate at least three artists and create a portfolio • Write in an art journal about the differences between artists
