VALENTINE ART LESSON INSPIRED BY JIM DINE'S HEARTS

Jim Dine (b. 1935), an American Pop artist, used a lot of common images in his art, but is best known for his heart paintings. His creative style and his experiments with colour are readily apparent.

His painting are abstract and colourful. I like his use of colour in them, I think I like the 3rd one and the last one the best
ReplyDeleteFirst one is cool because it is so colorful but it must have been small because it is so drippy
ReplyDeleteI love these hearts, they are a lot more interesting than just a plain red, pink or purple heart. I like all of them, but my favorite would be the first one. I think it's my favorite because I like the washed-out look, complete with vibrant colors. Also, the colors look very distinguished, and not like they mixed and made a black or brown color. (which is what I usually do when I paint)I also find it hard to believe that some of them are the size of a wall, and can imagine that REALLY standing out in a gallery, but in a good way.
ReplyDeleteI love the way some of the paintings have the splattered paint affect. The first and the last are my favourites. The use of colour in the first one is very nice and I love the water affect.
ReplyDeleteIt’s very bright and colourful. It’s kind of abstract but there's actually an image, its not just random spots. Every heart is the same exact shape but if you look from afar, it looks all different because of the different colours and the different variations. We did some farther research on the paintings and found that there are so many other styles of the hearts. We also found that Jim Dines is also very good at painting robes, ties, tools and small people dressed in overalls.

I really admire Jim's work, his amazing use of colour is striking. His work looks simple at a glance but if you can take the time to examine his beautiful artwork you will see that it is not as simple as it may seem, all the colours look strategically placed and make the heart pop out of the picture. My favourite pieces are piece one, two and the last piece as well!
ReplyDeleteI think he uses great colours that make each other stand out such as yellow and red on the heart and blue and black in the background. It is also very abstract.
ReplyDeleteHis art cleverly incorporates modern contemporary art and abstractness throughout his vivid and striking art. The hearts are big and colourful and show extreme passion and exquisite taste. The hearts are made of luscious and shocking strokes that encompass the already fruitful piece. The hearts are diverse and are made to pop from their backgrounds and they rightfully do so. They draw the eye and if I saw them hanging in a hallway I guarantee I would stop and glance. The hearts use different styles and it makes you wonder if he wants to show how the heart looks when you feel a different emotional way. The colour definitely sets the tone for the entire piece and I think he does a brilliant job bringing it to life.

I think the heart paintings are fit for valentines day and I like how all the hearts have a different image and feeling and I love his use of colours like krazykat
ReplyDeleteI love his style. My favorite painting was his second painting because, even though it is a 2D painting, it gave an illusion of being 3D. I would like to explore more of his paintings and his life story.

I love his style of painting! The colours blend so nicely with all the swirls, mixtures and splatters here and there around the painting. To me, some of the paintings look like they are carved from stone, while others look like they are painted with pastels. Though the colours are mixed together in a blend, the painting still ‘pops’ and can be really bright.
ReplyDeleteGrade Five and Six, you sound like art experts! Your comments are really interesting and show that you have a great interest in the creation of art.
ReplyDeleteI like how some of you dug a little deeper to find out a little more about Jim Dine. I came across some interviews with him where he talks about his technique and the motivation behind his art. I'm always interested to know about the creative process and the stories behind the art.
Did anyone find out more about "Pop Art"? Or find out any names of any Pop Art contemporaries of Jim Dine? Does anyone out there really understand Pop Art? I have to admit that I haven't quite figured it out yet, especially Andy Warhol.
My favourite paintings are the 2nd and the 3rd.
ReplyDeleteHe has no apperent colour scheme although he uses blue and pink alot. The first heart seems to be melting away, and provides interesting contrast with the patchwork of bright colours on a blue and violet background. The second heart seems like he threw alot of blue violet and orange paint on a canvas and then painted the heart on top, the heart really stands out because it only has one colour compared to the diverse background and the three dimensional effect. The third heart is very interesting because the heart almost blends in with the background but the caches of red and blue provide a little contrast. The third painting is the most interesting because it almost seems like the following. First he painted a blue and white background and a bright border then he drew a heart that kind of reminds me of a strawberry with the white bottom and red top, then it seems like he tried to imitate the colour of the border and failed. he provides very interesting and vivid images,
