Art and Colour
1. Look at the paintings below. What are the 3 main colours? Write them in the boxes.
Composition, 1921
2. Read and complete the text.
Colour is an important part of graphic design.
The colour wheel shows how colours relate to each other.
The primary colours are: r
The secondary colours are: o
g
p
The secondary colours are created by mixing two primary colours: red + yellow = orange; red + blue = purple; blue + yellow = green.
On a colour wheel harmonious colours are side by side, like yellow and orange or red and purple.
On the other hand, complementary colours are opposite each other, like red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple.
Warm colours are based on red and include red, yellow and orange.
Cool colours are based on blue and include blue, green and purple.

ART How to read a painting
1. Look and read.
Back to Basics
Paintings can be classified according to the type of support and paint used. The support can be wood, canvas or plaster on wall, as for frescoes. Paint is made up of pigments (coloured powders) and a binding agent, like egg, oil, gum arabic or acrylic resin.
If the binding agent is egg, the paint is called tempera. If it is oil, we talk about oil paint. If it is gum arabic soluble in water, the paint is called watercolour. If it is acrylic resin, the paint is called acrylic colour. Contemporary painters often use acrylic paints.
2. Read the text and label the pictures.
1. This is Primavera, by Sandro Botticelli. It’s a tempera on wood.
3. This is Ivy Bridge, by J.M.W. Turner. It’s a watercolour
2. This is The Last Judgement, by Michelangelo. It’s a fresco
4. This is Nave Nave Moe, by Paul Gauguin. It’s an oil on canvas
3. Read and fill in the gaps.
4. Read.

The main gate is in Great Russell Street and the nearest tube / underground stations are Tottenham Court Road and Russell Circus / Square. The first thing you’ll see there is the Great Court, the largest covered public square in Europe. It has a spectacular glass and steel roof, designed by Norman Forster in 2000. At the centre you can see the Reading Room, formerly the British Library / Bookshop, where many big brains of history like Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Oscar Wilde and Gandhi used to go. Around this there are galleries devoted to world cultures, where you can find objects from Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and of course Britain. If you don’t have much money / time for your visit, here are some of the museum highlights.
On the ground floor the Rosetta Stone is on display in Room 4. It is a stone, found / discovered in 1799, with an inscription which was the key to deciphering hieroglyphs. On the same floor you can see the Parthenon Sculptures, marble works from the famous temple on the Acropolis in Athens.
At the foot of the East Stairs there is the Mexican Gallery, featuring the Mosaic Mask of Tezcatlipoca, a god known as the Smoking Mirror. This mask is a turquoise mosaic laid over a human skull. Another highlight on display on the first floor / storey is Lindow Man. He was a young man from Lindow who died 2000 years ago, probably as a human sacrifice.

Four years later, in 1873, he moved to London, where he worked for the same company until 1875, when he moved to the Paris branch of the firm.
Later on, he developed his own post-impressionist style and started to use brighter colours to express his feelings. In 1888 he moved to Arles, in the south of France.
Theo also helped Vincent when he arrived in Paris in 1886. Here Van Gogh was influenced by the Impressionists and the design of Japanese prints.
Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. His childhood was happy but he was a solitary and moody boy. e
After that his mental health got worse and worse and he killed himself in 1890. f

4. Read the text.
ImPrESSIoNISm
This term comes from a hostile review of Monet’s painting Impression: Sunrise, after an exhibition of new artists like Monet, Degas, Pissarro and Renoir, held in Paris in 1874.
Today it refers to the first avant-garde art movement which started in France in the 1860s. It was new both for its subject matter and for its technique. In fact, it portrayed landscapes and scenes of the modern urban life. Moreover, the technique was
characterized by the use of bright, pure, readymade colours, often complementary colours which were juxtaposed to enhance each other. These were applied through rapid brushstrokes by artists who started painting outdoors. Impressionist painters were also interested in the way we perceive what we see and they tried to convey this experience: when looking at a landscape for instance, the details seem to blend into a mass of light and colour.
5. Which of these paintings by Van gogh shows the influence of Impressionism?

PABLO PICASSO (1881 -1973)
I’m Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter. I experimented many styles and art forms during my life and approached different art movements. Historians normally divide my production of more than 22,000 works into two main periods - the “blue” one and the “rose” one, according to the use I made of colour. I developed Cubism and this is one of the most famous Cubist paintings, Guernica. It is a mural-size oil on canvas depicting the bombing of Guernica, Spain, by German and Italian warplanes on April 26 th 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica is a small village in Spain’s Basque region and it was considered the core of the Republican Resistance movement in the north. I was commissioned by the Spanish Republican government to paint a mural for the Paris International Exposition in 1937. This was the result - a black, white and grey mural. The colours I used express pain, chaos and the lifelessness of war; the posture of the bodies expresses protest; the flaming buildings and walls stand for the destructive power of war; the broken sword represents the defeat of the people during the attack on Guernica. Guernica is certainly a reminder of the tragedies of war, and has become an anti-war symbol.

1. All Picasso’s works are Cubist works. T F

did you know?
During Fascism in Spain Picasso requested that Guernica be sent to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He said that the painting should be returned to Spain only after the fall of Fascism. After General Franco’s death in 1981, the painting was sent to Madrid where it is displayed at the Reina Sofia Museum.
