Happy Wednesday Friends! 

There are several different kinds of sculpture: ​

Who knows the difference between two-dimensional art and three-dimensional art?
Two-dimensional art is art that you paint or draw on a sheet of paper and it lays flat, not taking up room in the world other than that one sheet of paper. Three-dimensional art is art that you build or sculpt. These sculptures are not flat, and most of them allow the viewer to walk completely around it to see it from all sides. ​

Eat Your Fruits and Veggies..

Giuseppe Arcimboldo

Picture

Hey friends!!

​Have you heard of the Italian artist named Giuseppe Arcimboldo? 

Giuseppe was born in Milan, Italy, in 1527. Almost 500 years ago! Take a look at this painting he created, it is called Vegetables in a Bowl. What do you see in this painting? I see all sorts veggies in a black bowl. Let's see what we can find. Check off the veggies as you find them, then try to add to the list: 

Carrot 
Kale 
Walnut
Mushroom
What else can you find?

This artist is famous for his portraits (images of people) made up of vegetables, fruit, flowers, and all sorts of other things. Does this painting look like a portrait to you? What if we flip it upside down?

Maya Lin, Silver Upper White River

3/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Artist Maya Lin’s (b. 1959) sculpture Silver Upper White River (recycled silver, 2015) is on display at Crystal Bridges.  Many readers may already be familiar with Lin; it was she who, while still an undergraduate architecture major, gained fame for her winning design for the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Washington, DC.  Today, her art focuses on humanity’s interaction with nature, emphasizing our collective responsibility to protect and preserve the world around us.
Click here for a Smarthistory field trip to see this sculpture at Crystal Bridges!
