2,000 years of art?!

I watched this video this week. It's a college student's assignment. She focuses on western art, not eastern, misses out a huge amount, and moves around to show influences. However, there are some interesting moments.

If you were going to make a video about art, what would you put in it? Would you focus on one artist, on a particular period, follow a particular content (say, representations of fish through ages and places...) or would you jumble up as many artists as you could?

Calligraphy

I'll print out this info sheet.

Let's try and find some patterns, influences and movements in this artistic style.

Get out your calligraphy books and brushes and see what you can produce.

Museum of Art

Let's visit the Hong Kong Museum of Art for their exhibits of animals in art.

Do they inspire you to create some new designs of your own?

The Great Wave

Watch this programme on the great wave.

We've studied this image before.

Does this programme help extend your thinking about this image?
