Art Nouveau (French for 'new art')

The name 'Art Nouveau' derived from the

name of a shop in Paris, Maison de l'Art

Nouveau, at the time run by SiegfriedBing, that showcased objects that

followed this approach to design. The

style introduced by Bing was not an

immediate success in Paris but rapidly

spread to Nancy and to

Belgium(especially Brussels) where

Victor Horta and Henry Van de Velde

would make major contributions in the

field of architecture and design. In the

United Kingdom Art Nouveau developed

out of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Inspiration:

Klimt visited Ravenna, Italy, where he

saw early Christian mosaics made frombits of stone and glass that inspired him

to paint the patterns in his artwork.

13/21

In his landscapes, Klimt left out the human figure.

He preferred to concentrate on the patterns formed by the plants and

flowers.

Klimt used small quick

brushstrokes to form a

glittering pattern of

orange and yellow dots,dashes, and scribbles

that resemble tiles in a

mosaic.

Remember Klimts paintings for inspiration in collage portraits.

Line, Color, Shape, Pattern, and Emphasis are the focus ofthis lesson. Composition is important: no central faces/eyes.

Using a mixture of magazine cut outs, construction paper,pattern paper, pencils, markers, colored pencils, metallic ink,and drawings, you will create your own Klimt-inspired workthat can include faces (portraits), landscapes, and more.

Do NOT use a lot of text from magazines: use minimal text if itis relevant, or integrate it into a pattern using color.

If you dont clean up properly, your grade will be affected.
