#JASPER JOHNS ALPHABET HOW TO#
(The other two could be surrounded by any color of their choice.) I encouraged students to use tints and shades in the space around the letters to review how to make them and to give their paintings some visual interest. I required that at least two of their letters were surrounded by the complement of the color they used for the letter. Youll also see that all the rows except the second have 5 letters each, although it slyly makes you think that its the asymmetrical grid. Once students understood how to determine the complement of a color, they painted the space around the letters they had painted last time. Touch device users, explore by touch or with swipe gestures.

Some wrote a word (many students wrote LOVE, and my example was ART!), some wrote their initials followed by a punctuation mark, some wrote a nickname or an acronym for a school or college…they had no trouble thinking of ideas!ĭuring the next class, we talked about complementary colors and why artists and designers like to use them. Looking at the artwork of Jasper Johns and creating an alphabet map. They painted a letter, number, or punctuation mark in each section, using a tint or shade for each letter. Once students mastered making this simple value scale, they folded 12 x 18 sheets of white construction paper into 4 sections. Students practiced mixing tints and shades on their own using this handout I created: All 26 letters of the alphabet are repeated and superimposed in. The alphabet as a symbol of everyday icons or as Johns referred it as things the mind already knows. Signed in pencil by Jasper Johns on the lower right margin. Then I introduced the vocabulary words tint and shade and demonstrated how to make them. From the original signed and numbered edition of 70.
We agreed that he probably didn’t go to the paint store and buy a bunch of different tubes of blue–he must have mixed one shade of blue with other colors he already had. Students saw that he not only used “regular” blue, but he also used lighter and darker blues as well. On the first day of the project, I asked fourth graders to look at Johns’s work and note where he used the color blue. I cover two concepts with this fourth grade lesson: (1) tints and shades, and (2) complementary colors. Artists Documentation Program interview with Jasper Johns Related collections and exhibitions. I know a lot of art teachers do projects inspired by Jasper Johns’s alphabet painting (below) here is my take on it.
