Making the Small Monumental

Objective: 
The students will think about one subject (object) that they will emphasize.  This will be the largest object in an imaginary landscape, perhaps the one that appears closest in their art work.  The students will use the "rule of thirds" to create their composition.


Art History Connection: 
Artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe understood how to make a small object dominate a landscape and appear larger than life  She placed natural objects such as shells, flowers, or bones in the foreground and made them monumental, dominating the composition.

Scale
Foreground
Background
Rule of Thirds

Materials:
Drawing paper
Pencil

Oil Pastels

Small Objects (shells, flowers, bones, model cars)
Apron
