Artists use Design and Abstraction
LEARNING TARGETS:
- I can use the artistic process to come up with an idea to make a piece of abstract art.
- I can use my knowledge of abstract art to be able to evaluate when abstract art is good or bad.
- I can understand how to use the elements and principles of design to make a strong composition.
Abstract- Art that takes subjects from reality but presents them in a way that is different from the way they are viewed in our reality.
Non-Objective- Art that takes nothing from reality, rather it focuses on the elements and principles of art in a way that result in visually stimulating work. |

Modern Art
P.S. it isn’t really modern… It’s over 100 years old.
Modern art started as a way for artists to respond to their changing world.
“Modern art is characterized by the artist's intent to portray a subject as it exists in the world, according to his or her unique perspective and is typified by a rejection of accepted or traditional styles and values.”
But what about art today?

Essential Question: How do you evaluate abstract artwork?
How to tell Good Abstract Art From Bad
But I don’t get it….
That’s okay!!!
Artists respond to their place, time, society and culture.
Artists respond to art that came before them and the artists around them.
This affects their values and goals.
Yours are different
However…
Don’t get stuck in a value system that artists moved on from in the 1870’s… that art should be traditional and realistic
