Lesson #11 Art Work Constructivism

Our art work last week was centered around Constructivism-using line and shape. Some of the artist we studied were Tatlin, Vasarely, Mondrian and Kandinsky. We are great lovers of Kandinsky's work. Fun as always, with proportionate messes!

Info for Constructivism artworks:
A modern art movement developed in 1917 by the Russian sculptor Vladimir Tatlin (1880-1938). The aim was to construct abstract sculpture suitable for an industrialized society, and the work pioneered the use of modern technology and materials such as wood, glass, plastics and steel. Constructivism was introduced to Western Europe by Antoine Pevsner in Paris, and his brother Naum Gabo in Germany. The principles of Constructivism were highly influential in twentieth century Western art, although for political reasons its influence in Russia ended by 1921
