Art of Klimt, Hair PATTERNS AND Zentangles project

A fun project for students to learn about the Art Nouveau Artist Gustav Klimt and to do their own interpretation using patterns to make their hair.

Students are asked to firstly read about Klimt and to answer questions.
Secondly students are asked to practice doing Zentangle patterns and look at the patterns of Klimt

Finally students take a photo of themselves or anyone else and paste this in an interesting position on their paper and begin to draw the Gustav Klimt patterns.

TASK:

1. Paste a picture of yourself, friend, family member and interpret the patterns of Klimt around the face.
2. Making hair-styles or clothes using Klimt’s patterns.
   STEPS TO SUCCESS

On an A5 paper paste a picture of a person and draw Klimt patterns making a dress or hair around the face. Look at the examples on the sheet.

On your paper firstly divide the areas using lines into shapes around the photo of your face/head and begin to do Zentangle patterns in the shapes.

Use a pencil or a pen and try to draw light and dark contrasts.

Try to make patterns in the shapes. Use the video clip to help with making zentangles.
