  3. Takashi Murakami • Tokyo Artist • Works in animation, fashion, painting, and sculpture • Created “superflat” art • Superflat – “flattened forms in Japanese graphic art, animation, pop culture, and fine art, along with the shallow emptiness of Japanese consumer culture” – Takashi Murakami • America adapted superflat in the 1990s and titled it “SoFlo”

  4. Takashi Murakami • Initially got into art to work in the anime and manga industry, but later changed his direction to the more traditional Nihonga work • Later merged his Nihonga roots with his new superflat style to create Kaikai Kiki Co. (right) • Murakami disagreed with contemporary art in Japan because it was “a deep appropriation of Western trends.” Because of this, his early work was highly satirical • Returned to his childhood dream and directed “superflat monogram” and “superflat first love” to promote work for Louis Vuitton • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mha26vA-tkw – monogram • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqaXxSBZTZc – first love

  5. Gabriel Orozco • Mexican born artist, and attended school in Madrid • Works primarily in drawing, sculpture and installation • Quoted to be “one of the most influential artists of this decade, and probably the next one too.” – Francesco Bonami (accomplished Italian art curator) • Created La DS (right) in 1993,he dissembled and reassembled his Citroen DS while removing the center pieces.

  6. Gabriel Orozco • Created Samurai Trees (right) to reference reality through an abstract medium • The color lay-outs on the paintings are done in relation to how the “knight” piece in chess is able to move. • Created the designs for the painting with a computer program in order to merge traditional art with modern techniques • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7b6wm2aVk

  7. LalehKhorramian • Iranian artist, now resides in upstate New York • Attended Rhode Island School of Design and Art Institute of Chicago, acquiring her BFA in 1997 and MFA in 2004 • Creates theatrical videos with dark themes using recycled elements such as scrap paper and orange peels (right) • While her work is often categorized as fantasy/fiction, she personally believes they express specific emotions

  8. LalehKhorramian • Pairs eerie music with bizarre animation to create atmospheric pieces that enthrall the viewer • The backgrounds for her pieces are extreme close-ups of monotype prints (right) • Highly inspired by non-human subjects, because she lacks the ability to direct • http://vimeo.com/68859685

  9. Altered Technology (Project) • Title: Old and New • Age Group: 3-6th grade • Big Idea: Technology • Time: Two 50 minute class sessions • Materials: Styrofoam, Ink, Pencils, Paper • Purpose: Students will create traditional art through printmaking, but cover a technological topic. Merging old styles of art with new content.

  10. Altered Technology (Project) • Procedure: • Day 1: I will demo all of the artists shown in this slide, and give the students ideas on how merging technology and traditional art can interact. I will pay special attention to Takashi Murakami’s superflat style and LalehKhorramian’s monotype backgrounds. By the end of class students will create a design they want to print next class. • Day 2: Students will trace their designs onto styrofoam to transfer the marks. Once their pattern has been traced, students will come to a print station with the teacher and roll out ink onto their styrofoam. Once inked, students will press paper onto the styrofoam and have their completed prints
