Gustav Klimt uses abstract imagery coupled with realistic painting techniques in order to juxtapose the two together, creating a beautiful dichotomy. Seventh graders at Marshall Simonds Middle School learned about pattern design, the art of Gustav Klimt, and also learned how to professionally photograph art. What I love about these designs is that they empower students to feel like they can make art by focusing on patterns and shapes. The designs were a lot of fun as well. Take a look at how students took their figure and created shapes and patterns that worked with the figure in some way (either the figure's pose, clothing, or mood).
