//How many of you are "professionally" trained artists? Well, those of you who are not "professionally" trained artists, have something in common with Miguel Garcia Vivancos, the artist we are going to be studying today. He was also an untrained artist. He communicated his community and era traditions through his artwork. Traditions are one of the most important parts of families and communities. Imagine, artistically communicating your family traditions in a way that a veiwer can understand and relate to.// How and why does an artist communicate meaning through a work of art? ======

He was also an untrained artist. Miguel Vivancos was born in Spain (show Spain on globe/map). He was born in 1895 and died in 1972. Math --- 1972-1895 = 77 years old when he died; 2006-1972 = he died 34 years ago (make some relation to time like, "that was when I was 3 years old") Miguel Vivancos had a variety of jobs in Spain before he started painting. He worked as a: (Ask students if they can describe each of these occupations.) It wasn't until the end of World War II (1945), that Miguel Vivancos discovered his talent and began painting. In 1947, he met a famous artist, Pablo Picasso, who helped him meet art dealers and he was able to have his own art exhibit in 1948. Although he was from Spain, he ended up living in France after the war. "His art was not only born in France; it is also French in inspiration" (Modern Primitives, p.132). (Point out France on globe/map.) Since Miguel Vivancos was an "untrained" artist, he falls into a special category (or genre) called Naive Art. Naive Art (also known as Primitive Art or Folk Art) From Dictionary.com, retrieved 12/13/06: having or marked by a simple, unaffectedly direct style reflecting little or no formal training or technique. The painting we are going to look at today is called Village Feast. So knowing that it was painted by an "untrained artist" and it is from the category of art called Naive Art, meaning simple style, close your eyes and think about how it might look. Now open your eyes (unveil) Discuss painting: Some characteristics of Naive Art include, So before we jump into our art project, I thought we could use some inspiration. I thought it would be helpful if we could feel like part of a Village Feast...so we are going to "BECOME" the painting. Everyone will have a role, so what do you think those roles might be? Assign roles and group students in appropriate ways, similar to the painting. Instruct students on roles/actions. Play folk tune. Re-collect role play items. That was fun, but now let’s become folk artists...

__ Art Project __ (integrates technology) Think for a minute about your family, family traditions, celebrations you have attended, place you have been… (Discuss some ideas as a group). Now, I am going to show you how to use the smartboard to create your family and family traditions on the smartboard and play pictionary. The goal is for you to comminicate your family traditions while the rest of the class tries to verbalize orally the specific tradition represented. Create a painting or drawing in the folk art tradition from your own family traditions, culture, community, or personal experiences. Once your painting or drawing is complete (and dry!), assist with scanning it into the computer for our class’s online art gallery and preparing for artwork to be displayed in class Folk Art Gallery. After you have completed your painting or drawing please get your journal and write a reflection about your traditions or your classmates traditions and how you or your peers communicated there traditions in their artwork. (Note to teacher: At the conclusion of the art project, complete the assessment listed below to gather evidence regarding student learning, and gather quotes to include in the class online art gallery.)
