本课由美术教师马尔科·法里内利（Marco Farinelli）设计。我在此分享这一富有趣味性的教学实践，并按步骤展示学生作品图片。参与本课的是意大利奇亚姆皮诺市列奥纳多·达·芬奇中学（Leonardo da Vinci Middle School of Ciampino）六年级学生。本课创作灵感源自当代日本艺术家草间弥生（Takashi Murakami），他以再现本国大众图象文化风格的作品而闻名。其人物形象与日本动漫（anime）和漫画（manga）有着清晰的联系，并被艺术家重塑为当代日本文化与社会的巨型图腾。他常被称为“波普艺术家”，并常被拿来与安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）相提并论。
This great lesson was created by the art teacher Marco Farinelli. I share this interesting work and the images of the work step by step. The classes involved are the 6th grade of the Leonardo da Vinci Middle School of Ciampino, in Italy. The work is inspired by the contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, known for his works that reproduce the styles of the mass iconography of his country. His figures have clear connections to Japanese anime and manga and are re-proposed by the artist as monumental icons of contemporary Japanese culture and society. He has often been called a POP artist and compared to Andy Warhol.
The topic of this lesson is the repetition of PATTERNS. Students chose one or more Murakami’s drawing on photocopies and copied them with a pencil on tracing paper. After copying drawings of different sizes on tracing paper students re-traced them on a drawing paper, repeating them and covering the whole surface of the sheet. Patterns can be repeated even in a symmetrical way.
The drawing was traced over with a black marker and then colored with bright, solid colors using felt-tip pens and colored pencils.
