We are going to look at artwork made by two American men who use their art to express love and hope. Think about ways that you express love and hope. What does the word love mean to you? Who do you love? What do you love?
Jim Dine is an American "Pop" artist.
A "Pop" artist uses popular or common images. A popular image that we are looking at this week is the heart because of Valentine's Day! These are heart sculptures that Jim Dine made.
He made groups of hearts...
Hearts in drawings...
Painterly Hearts...
Smudgy Hearts...
And hearts with a surprise!
What kind of hearts can you make for Valentine's Day? Can you express love and hope in your art?
And then there is Robert Indiana..
Robert Indiana is an American "pop" artist too! His "love" print was created for the Museum of Modern Art and later became a stamp. Why do you think he used "text" as his art? What is the meaning of his art? Do you notice what he is signing in this picture? It was something for President Obama.
Why do you think Indiana did the same image six times? Why did he change the colors?
Does it matter that he used different color palates for each word? Do you feel a different feeling when you look at each LOVE?
This is a fun sculpture in Chicago. Why do you think he tilted the "O"?
Can you think of something that is "popular" that you would like to express in some way?
What is the meaning of your work?
