23. Journal/Bellwork Where do you see line & movement in this artwork? WHY? Look at the image . The painting by Matisse is full of sweeping circular areas which move your eye around the picture (it is a good example of optical movement). The elements are flowing and circular and give you the impression of a calm quiet rhythm. Matisse, Henri. Two Figures Reclining in a Landscape 1921

25. Requirements for YOUR 2 Collages • Both collage compositions need a rough draft for your ideas…(roughs in sketchbook). • One Organic Collage • One Geometric Collage • One must tell a story –ABSTRACT • One must be non-objective- Looks Good • You need a focal point in both. • You need movement in both. • YOU CAN’T GLUE UNTIL ALL SHAPES HAVE BEEN CUT AND PLACED ON THE PAGE. YOU NEED MRS. STEFFL’S OK 1st!!!

26. Texture Texture is the Element of Art that describes the feeling of the surface of an object. Texture can either be actual or implied. Actual texture is texture we can actually feel, implied texture is an illusion of texture that is strictly visual. This is a picture of an actual rose. If we were at the scene of this picture, we could actually feel the petals of the roses, so its texture would be actual. Since this is only a drawing or painting of a rose and it would be impossible to actually feel the petals of the roses in this artwork, its texture is implied.

27. Happy Monday • Review notes on Shape & Texture • Studio Time for shape artworks. • Shape Collage Rough Draft sheet due with finished collages. • Review Line • Line artworks should be matted and hung for display. • All Fees due to Mrs. Steffl! • Sketchbooks needed!
