Over the next few art classes we will be considering what makes a powerful work of art. Today we will look SIZE and how it can impact how a work of art is observed.
Some artists choose to work BIG and some choose to work small. As an artist you get to choose the size of your work.Claes Oldenburg's "Giant Three-Way Plug" has sat on the St. Louis Art Museum grounds since 1971
Why do you think an artist would choose to work LARGE?
Claes Oldenburg is an artist known for his large scale sculptures or recognizable everyday objects.
These are a few more LARGE scale sculptures you may have seen here in St. Louis.
If an artist would work LARGE, then it would come as no surprise that some artists like to work s m a l l
Why would an artist work small?
Would a viewer spend more or less time looking at small art? How about, would the viewer look deeply at the work?
We will be creating a Tiny Art Show at Meramec using the lower level. We will have a Gallery wall that will feature your work but as you will see, some art might be placed at in various spots
These are photos of a special art project called TINY ART SHOW. Artists work in a small scale and the viewer must get close to inspect the art.
Every student will be working within the dimensions of a Post-it Note.
Your work will be High Quality, remember this is a show and your art will be on display.

As you think about your own art, will you consider size?
Do you like to work small or large?
Does size make an impact in how the viewer experiences your art?
