Description

Grade 7 visual arts explores the revolutionary movements of the twentieth century, when artists broke away from realistic representation. Students study the bold colors of Fauvism and the emotion of Expressionism, the fractured viewpoints of Cubism, the dreamlike worlds of Surrealism, the energetic gestures of Abstract Expressionism and the pioneers of pure abstraction. They also discover Organic Architecture, in which buildings grow from nature's forms, from Horta and Gaudí to Frank Lloyd Wright.
