The Move Toward Abstract
Chinese Fish,Henri Matisse
You can still see something of the “visual” world represented
in these paintings…
But painting was becoming more about “inner reality” than
outer reality…
Orphism
Overlapping planes of bright, contrasting colors. It was generally both more abstract and more colorful than other forms of Cubism. The name, chosen by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire (French, 1880-1918) in 1913, harkened back to Orpheus, the singer and poet of Greek mythology. Painter Robert Delaunay (French, 1885-1941) and his wife Sonia Delaunay-Terk (French,
1885-1979) were its chief exponents, beginning in 1912.
Color Preeminent
•Focused more on color and how it makes one feel.
•Less focus on “realism” and detail.
•Played with creating impact through color.
Light frequencies are separated by a prism. Raindrops act like prisms!

Label each space lightly.
Use “R” for red, “B” for blue, “Y” for yellow,
“P” for purple, “G” for green, “O” for orange.

I’m Finished. Now what?
1. One of the volunteers will pick up your painting.
Do not try to carry a wet painting yourself.
2. Throw away your styrofoam paint tray.
3. Place paint brush in the container located in the sink.
4. Fold desk covers – painted sides together – 2 times.
5. Wash your hands (if there’s paint on them).
I have a word search for you when you are finished.
You may pick one up and work quietly at your desk.
