Project objective(s):
- Examine the style of Rosita Wachtmeister's cats
- Discuss line, form, color, and pattern
- Create your Rosita Wacthmeister cat
Rosita Wachtmeister was born in 1939 Vienna, Austria.
In her biographical note she mentions war, bombs, a garden full of potatoes, ceramics workshop, and flute lessons. She moved to Italy in 1967 where she learns to paint and exposes her paintings at the Piazza Navona
In order to understand her style the students examined a number of Rosita's paintings. ( http://www.rosina-wachtmeister.de/index_en.html ). Among them "Tommaso and his Family".
We practiced drawing the different elements found in her cats.
We drew with pencil, made the necessary corrections, and then used a sharpie to outline our design.
Creating patterns as part of the design.
Cats in the style of Rosita Wachtmeister.
Creating interesting backgrounds.
Adding your own details.
Lines, colors and patterns.
