Hundertwasser Landscapes

2nd grade artists are learning about Austrian artist and architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000). Hundertwasser used bright colors, organic forms, nature, spirals, onion domes, 'lollipop' style trees, windows of different shapes and sizes and curved or zig-zag lines. We are also reviewing what a landscape is along with foreground and background are. 

Children will look at architecture by Hundertwasser and will discuss what they see. They will get a 12x18 piece of white paper, draw their Hundertwasser-inspired landscape including a foreground line, house, background lines with "lollipop" trees and a sky. Artists will trace their drawing in Sharpie then color with markers and paint with liquid watercolors.
