TEXTURE
Many artists, craftspeople and designers are inspired by texture. Frank Auerbach makes textured portraits and landscapes using layers of paint. The Campana Brothers design tactile furniture from recycled materials. Bernhard Edmaier photographs the textures of the earth and ceramicist Ewen Henderson crafted textured vessels that reflected his interest in rock forms. Deidre Adams uses stitch and mixed media to create textures inspired by weathered and aged surfaces, and craftsperson Matt Tommey makes baskets and sculptures based on the textures seen in nature.
Investigate appropriate sources and create your own work in response to Texture. Explore textures in art from woven textures and textured fabrics and materials to gestural marks and patterns |
Abstract
Many artists, craftspeople and designers work in an abstract manner. Frank Gehry’s architectural designs are inspired by the abstract shapes in Cubist paintings. John Hoyland made colourful abstract paintings and designer Michelle House creates abstract printed textiles. Henry Holmes Smith’s experimental photographs explore colour and light. Paul Rand made corporate logo designs inspired by Modernism, in particular the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky. Alison Britton makes abstract ceramic vessels.
Research appropriate sources and create your own work based on Abstract. |
MEssages
Artists, craftspeople and designers frequently convey messages through their work. The Peace Pole project is organised by communities to send an international message for world peace. Traditional and digital billboards advertise products and communicate messages. Teesha Moore shares messages through illustrations that combine text and image, and Tom Phillips uses text in many of his artworks to convey an idea. Derick Melander makes textile installations from second hand clothing to present a message about consumerism and Shimon Attie uses new media to relay messages about international history. Investigate appropriate sources and produce your own work based on:
EITHER/OR (a) a site-specific installation or billboard to convey a message of your choice (b) your own response to Messages. |
The Elements
The elements of nature and the formal elements of art and design frequently feature in the work of artists, craftspeople and designers. Claude Monet was inspired by the seasonal elements of weather in his series of ‘Haystacks’ paintings. The elements of nature have inspired the craftwork of Helen Gwinn and the land art of Andy Goldsworthy. Iris van Herpen designs garments that combine the formal elements of shape, line, pattern and texture. Julian Schulze’s photographs and Cecil Touchon’s graphic designs are inspired by the formal elements of colour and composition. Investigate appropriate sources and produce your own work based on:
EITHER OR (a) the elements of nature (b) your own interpretation of the formal elements of art, craft and design. |
working
The act of working, the way something works and different working processes have interested many artists, craftspeople and designers. The shipbuilding paintings of Stanley Spencer and Frank Brangwyn’s studies of industrial scenes illustrate hard manual work. J.C. Burrows’ photographs of Cornish mine workers capture the working conditions of nineteenth century tin mining. Jean Tinguely created fantastic working machine sculptures and puppet makers Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler design working models of figures and animals for film and theatre. Textile artist Ann Goddard and installation artist Jessica Stockholder combine different working processes in their artwork.
Research appropriate sources and create work based on your own interpretation of Working |
habitats
Many artists, craftspeople and designers are inspired by human, animal, marine and plant habitats. John Bratby painted domestic habitats. Catrin Mostyn Jones’ ceramics and jewellery are inspired by marine habitats. Nick Brandt’s photographic series ‘Inherit the Dust’ documents the effect of human intervention on animal habitats and Tom Eckersley has designed posters for ‘The World Wide Fund for Nature’ about the impact of climate change on habitats. Édith Meusnier makes textile installations that interact with plant and animal habitats and Moshe Safdie designed housing in his ‘Habitat 67’ project.
Research appropriate sources and create your own work based on Habitats. |
spaces
Busy crowded streets, eerie empty rooms, closed-in spaces and open spaces that seem to go on and on, explore spaces in art.
The theme Spaces can be interpreted in many ways. Refer to appropriate sources and develop your own interpretation of Spaces, or respond to one of the following: (a) crowded spaces (b) enclosed or open spaces (c) ‘Spaces’: A new arts centre providing studios, a gallery and performance areas, is inviting designs to promote the centre’s facilities. |
