In Our Time

Project Description:
The IN OUR TIME unit explores the history of art in the 20th century, focusing on Modern Masters such as Picasso, Dali, Rothko, Pollock, Rauschenberg, Rosenquist, Warhol, and Jeff Koons.  As we discuss the evolution of art over the 20th Century, the students will create digital collages that are inspired by recent global and domestic events.  Once complete, those digital collages will become references for mixed media paintings.

The final products will clearly indicate inspiration from Rauschenberg and Rosenquist, as the students will borrow the color, pattern, rhythm, and arrangements used by those artists.  The final products will have a similar DNA to the studied artists works, but will contain content that speaks the language of contemporary culture.

Past Student Examples

Project Criteria:

Designs clearly show the influence of the color, composition, and overall aesthetics of Rauschenberg and or  Rosenquist.

Students should be able to explain how they were inspired by the studied artists, and how they borrowed  elements from the works of those artists during our verbal critique.

Designs should contain at least 5 images

Photoshop designs should contain at least 5 layers 

Students used Photoshop to create a custom designed brush in at least one area of the digital collage.

Designs contain a  clear connection to contemporary culture or a specific personal narrative that is aligned with the past year of life.

Designs should include at least one piece of collage material, and one gel transfer, in addition to the painted and drawn areas. 

Helpful Tips for Design:
As you create your design, remember that you will have to translate the digital collage into physical media.  This means that you will be using paint, collage, gel transfer,  and drawing materials to re-create your digital work.  Be aware of how complicated your design becomes.  The examples I've posted on this page will help you see the power of simplifying your design.  Painting is no easy task, so do yourself a favor and keep your design simple to save yourself some frustration as you paint.

Printing in color and pasting the image or transferring the image can be a great way to save some time with this project.  You are encouraged to use collage for some of the more complex design elements.  

How do you value ART?

Establishing Hierarchy
For this assignment, the students are put into small teams, and are required to arrange images they may or may not have seen before into a hierarchy of "most artful" to "least artful".


If done properly, the activity forces students to fight for their own taste, and engages the group in a dialogue about what they value most in a work of art.  This process helps the students realize the subjectivity of art.


As the students work in groups to arrange the order of merit among the images they've been given, they are also asked to defend their position as a group in an informal presentation to the class.  As a class, we will look at the top three and bottom three images chosen by each group, and those groups will discuss why they chose to put the images in that particular hierarchy. 

As they present the images, the instructor gives the students the background context of the images they chose, in an effort to help the students understand that knowledge often feeds appreciation, especially with art.
