Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain. When he was baptized, he was named after various saints and relatives: Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepom uceno María de los
Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso. His father,
Jose Ruiz Blasco, was an artist and art professor who gave Pablo art lessons. His mother was
Maria Picasso y Lopez. According to his mother, his first word was “piz” when he was trying to say “lápiz,” the Spanish word for pencil.
Picasso was not a good student. He often had to go to detention. Here’s what he said about it.
“For being a bad student I was banished to the ‘calaboose’ – a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly … I could have stayed there forever drawing without stopping ”

In 1900, Picasso went to Paris. He met Max Jacob, a journalist and poet. Max helped Picasso learn to speak French. He also met many of the famous artists who lived in Paris. In 1905,
American art collectors Leo and Gertrude Stein began to collect his work and helped to make him famous.
He and Georges Braque invented Cubism, a form of painting that featured simple geometric shapes. He is also known for making collages – gluing previously unrelated things together with images. He created oil paintings, sculpture, drawings, stage designs, tapestries, rugs, etchings, collage, and architecture. No other painter or sculptor was as famous while he was still alive. It is estimated that Picasso produced at least 50,000 works of art: 1,885 paintings;
1,228 sculptures; 2,880 ceramics, roughly 12,000 drawings, many thousands of prints, and numerous tapestries and rugs. He also wrote plays and poetry. He became very wealthy.
Picasso quotes:
“I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. ”
“All children are artists.
The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. ”
“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands in 1853. His father and grandfather were ministers, but others in his family worked in the art world. Vincent had two brothers and three sisters. He was closest to his younger brother Theo.
Years in Paris
During this time Van Gogh began to use brighter colours. His brushwork also became more broken. He painted subjects from the streets and cafes of Paris as well as the countryside. Van Gogh also became interested in painting portraits of people.
When he couldn't find models, he would paint himself for practice. He painted over twenty self portraits during this time.

Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He studied architecture in Barcelona, Spain at the
Escola Tecnica Superior d’Arquitectura but he was not a very good student. After five years, in 1878, Gaudi officially became an architect.
He began designing small projects but soon met Eusebi Guell. Guell became
Gaudi’s patron and the architect designed buildings and parks in his name. You saw a picture of Parque Guell yesterday. Go click through the photos at the main Palau
Guell website. I especially like the chimneys that grow atop the building like colorful trees.
Task: Complete a copy of Gaudi’s mosaic lizard in the box provided. Fill the box and add detail. Once you have copied the lizard add colour with felt tips !
Task: Using the mosaic pattern provided draw a sea creature of your choice and colour in !

You can see the characteristics of Art Nouveau in Gaudi’s work. There are bright tile mosaics and curving lines. He was very influenced by nature as you can see in the chimneys at Palau Guell.
Task: Design two chimney tops that look like Gaudi’s !
The building that Antoni Gaudi is best known for, though, is La Sagrada Familia in
Barcelona (shown below). He began this huge church in 1882 and he worked on it until he died in 1926. It still has not been finished. Gaudi designed and redesigned this building. He was forever tinkering with the plans. Unfortunately, the last blueprint he drew was destroyed in 1938 so the architects who are currently working on the building don’t know exactly what Gaudi had in mind for the church.
Task: Using the ‘La
Sagrada Familia’ as inspiration design your own church with an ocean theme. Remember to add details and colour.

Where did Andy Warhol grow up?
Andy grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the son of a construction worker. His birth name was
Andrew Warhola. When he was 8 years old he caught a liver disease that caused his limbs to sometimes spasm uncontrollably. While recovering his mother, an embroiderer and artist, taught him to draw. He was a quiet and shy child, but loved drawing, photography, and movies.
When Andy was fourteen, his father died from liver disease. His father considered Andy the brightest of his children and had saved money for Andy to go to college. When he graduated from high school, he went to Carnegie Mellon University to study art.
Pop Art
In 1961 Andy came up with the concept of using mass-produced commercial goods in his art. He called it Pop Art. He would use commercial images and reproduce them over and over. One early example of this was a series on Campbell's Soup cans. In one painting he had two hundred
Campbell's soup cans repeated over and over. Andy often used silkscreen and lithography to create his pictures.
Task: Choose your favourite fizzy drink logo and draw the design on the can provided. Colour in using bright pop art style colours like Andy
Warhol.
Famous People

Legacy
Andy was a different kind of artist. While many artists focused entirely on their art with no interest in personal fame or fortune, Andy wanted to be rich and famous. Some artists accused him of making art in order to make money. However, many of the images he created have become iconic in
American culture. His paintings have grown in value as well. One of his portraits called Eight Elvises sold for $100 million in 2008.
Despite having made a lot of money off of his art, Andy can also be credited with bringing art to the masses. He would mass produce prints of his art so it was affordable to everyone.
Interesting Facts about Andy Warhol:
 His birth date was never recorded at a hospital. Andy liked to change his birthday and make up stories about his youth when doing interviews with the press.
 He once said that "good business is the best art."
 He was also interested in film and music.
He produced around 60 films and supported a band called the Velvet

Underground. One of his movies was a 6 hour film of his friend sleeping called
Sleep .
Andy was shot three times in the chest

 by feminist Valerie Solanis and nearly died on June 3, 1968.
He died in the hospital after surgery on his gall bladder.
His parents were immigrants from
Slovakia.

Michael Craig-Martin was born in Dublin Ireland in 1941. He grew up and was educated in the United States, studying Fine Art at the Yale University School of Art. He came to Britain on completion of his studies in 1966, and has lived and worked there ever since.
His first solo exhibition was at the Rowan Gallery, London in 1969. He participated in the definitive exhibition of British conceptual art, “The New Art” at the Hayward Gallery in
1972. Throughout his career, through work in many different media, he has explored the expressive potential of commonplace objects and images. His best known works include An oak tree of 1973, in which he claimed to have changed a glass of water into an oak tree; his large-scale black and white wall drawings; and his intensely coloured paintings, installations, and public commissions.
An Oak Tree consists of an ordinary glass of water placed on a small glass shelf of the type normally found in a bathroom, which is attached to the wall above head height. Craig-
Martin composed a series of questions and answers to accompany the objects. In these, the artist claims that the glass of water has been transformed into an oak tree.
Task: Create a drawing of an object on a shelf and give the art work a title like ‘An Oak Tree’.
Explain briefly why you have chosen the object and how it relates to the title given.

German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer was born May 21, 1471, in
Nurnberg. In 1494 he travelled to Italy, where he remained until 1495. The trip had a strong effect on Durer; echoes of Italian art are apparent in most of his drawings, paintings, and graphics of the following decade. Italian influences were slower to take hold in his graphics than in his drawings and paintings. He died in 1528.
This print of a rhinoceros was created by Albrecht Dürer, the most famous artist of his day. Dürer's celebrity was in part due to his ability to make his work both available and affordable to a mass audience. The new technology of woodcut printing allowed drawings to be mass produced; around 4000 to 5000 copies of the rhino print were probably sold in Dürer's lifetime.
Dürer, however, never actually saw a live rhino and based his drawing on a brief sketch and a letter.
