Arts Council Meeting No.4

3/3/2020

 
Picture
On 12th February Class 7 discussed three of the ideas that had been suggested at the previous meeting. Two of these were about abstract art and one asked, 'What does 'capture the emotions' mean?' We tried to deal with these questions together as we looked at three paintings by the Russian artist Kandinsky, two by the Dutch painter Mondrian, and three by the American Rothko.

Eliza was our scribe. She noted that Kandinsky's paintings all showed the city of Moscow during the Russian revolution, one painted from a high building, looking down. They had vibrant colours, were full of excitement and the last one was nearly abstract (the shapes were similar and with fewer details). Then we saw how Mondrian did a fairly realistic painting of a tree, then another of the same tree that was bolder and more abstract. Rothko - a highly emotional man - made abstract paintings, one called 'Four Darks in Deep Red' which seemed to express his sad feelings, or emotions.

​As usual, we had to much to say in only 20 minutes! But we will find out more in the next meeting in March.
