Task 3: Constable Name: John Constable Circa: Born 1776 Died 1837 Place of Birth: Suffolk, England Best Known Works: The Haywain and Salisbury Cathedral Find a painting by John Constable and stick it in. Write down the name and date of the painting Constable is considered, along with Turner, as the greatest of British landscape painters. He was born in Suffolk and it was the surrounding landscape with its inhabitants and buildings that formed the basis of his work. He worked outside on sketches in oil paint and pencil, which he then used in the studio to produce highly finished oil paintings. When he first started exhibiting, his colours were seen as very bright and fresh. Many critics of the time thought this was too bright when compared to the canvasses of the old masters, even though these had darkened with age. Colour was very important to Constable, and he often used vibrant dashes of bright red in contrast to the green foliage. Much of his work was almost scientific and he carefully studied the effect of light and shade, and the changing moods of the landscape. The Hay Wain by Constable, painted in 1821 Each primary colour has a complementary secondary colour. They sit opposite each other on the colour wheel. Reds complementary colour is Green. Blues complementary colour is Yellows complementary colour is.

Task 4: Interior Design An interior designer decides on the appearance of a room by choosing its furniture, curtains, colour scheme, patterns, lighting and so on. Their choice will depend on what the room is being used for and the atmosphere she wants to create. A design for a child s room might be bright and exciting. An office, on the other hand, might be given a more serious and businesslike appearance. Draw a design for your perfect bedroom including the arrangement of the furniture, colour scheme, patterns and storage. This is a good way to practice your perspective drawing. All vertical lines keep going straight up and down. All horizontal lines are parallel to each other at the same angle of the floors. Look carefully at the example. What do you think this person s favourite sport is? Colour influences how a room feels. Warm colours like red, yellow and orange can make a living room feel cosy. However, a kitchen decorated in blues, greens or lavenders will have a cooling feel to it. A restful atmosphere can be created in a bedroom by using combinations of colours which are closely related to each other such as white, pale grey and stone. Contrasting colours like green and red will produce a more lively and energetic mood. Activity: Create a collage from magazines of colours below for a particular type of room. What type of room have you chosen? What type of colours would be suitable and why?
Perspective drawing: Remember vertical lines remain upright whilst horizontal lines fall diagonally and parallel to each other. Task 5 : Bruegel The Elder Name: Pieter Buegel The Elder Circa: Born 1525 Died 1569 Best Known Works: Hunters In The Snow and Big Fish Eat Little Fish Up until Pieter Bruegel The Elder, few painters had considered landscapes as worthy subjects for paintings. Landscapes often appeared in paintings but usually only as backgrounds to people or animals. In Bruegels early paintings however, the landscape is the main feature, with people included, but very small, as seen from far off or high up. He was fascinated by mountain scenery, probably because his native Netherlands are so flat, yet he wasn t interested in painting landscapes exactly as they were, he wanted to convey the atmosphere and the feeling of being part of the scene. He showed how small and insignificant people were when compared to the grand scale of nature. Bruegel was also interested in moral issues. He illustrated proverbs and parables; the market square was a common subject, the scene often painted from a very high viewpoint, illustrating the daily fight people have between being greedy and having just as much as they need.

Task 6: Chinese Painting Activity: Find a picture by Hokusai and stick it in. During the Sung Dynasty (AD 960-1279) artists were inspired by Buddhism and other religious beliefs to express their ideas about man s place in the world. Man was shown as an insignificant creature compare to the grandeur of mountain peaks and waterfalls. These were imaginary, not real landscapes. Waterfall by Hokusai painted in 1832
