Brilliant Fauvist Portraits

Fauvism

Assignment

• Choose an animal you believe to be “wild” like the Fauves (this can also be a person!)

• Use texture to show how the animal or person feels (furry, slimy, scaly, etc.)

• Paint using bright, vivid colors like the Fauves.• Show your brush strokes• Don’t be afraid to exaggerate; remember, the Fauves

often portrayed things the way THEY saw them as individuals (subjectively)

• Try to focus on the FACE!

Advocacy Note:

• If you want to use your painting to advocate for an animal in the manner of Ron Burns, talk to Ms. LeSage and we can:– Put a link on your painting for viewers to “adopt”

an animal (like at the Wild Animal Sanctuary)– Put a link on your painting to show viewers your

animal’s story (to help encourage adoption to a good home)

– These links will appear both on Artsonia as well as in the OTMS Spring Art Show!
