Art from Within - Artistic Perception Lesson

During this lesson, students will break into groups and look at various paintings by Hilma af Klint. Students will first describe what they see, what kinds of shapes are being made, the color choices, and discuss the overall mood of the work. To record their observations, students will set up an observation capture worksheet in their sketchbooks. Students will share their observations with the class and discuss Klint’s artistic choices. Students will then write down inspiration and potential ideas for their own pieces, finally sharing with an elbow partner. As an exit ticket, students will write down one thing they might like to add to their own artwork based on Hilma af Klint’s paintings.
