This is a personal blog to keep up with all of my fantastic lesson plans. As an art teacher in a Public Charter school, I am the only one of my craft. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the need for lesson plans or ideas, but I learned a lot in my career. So, I made this blog because I'm sure there are other people out there just like me that could just use inspiration. So, here you go...
In 1939-40 he studied under Reginald Marsh at the Art Students' League, New York, and 1940-43 and 1946-49 at Ohio State University, Columbus, where he completed his studies with an M.A. Between these two periods of study he did his military service in Europe. Between 1949 and 1951 he taught at Ohio State University. Until 1957 he worked as a commercial artist and designer and did display work for shop windows. His paintings and drawings at this time were parodies of American twenties' art, e.g. Remington's cowboy-and-Indian scenes. From 1957 to 1960 he taught at New York State University, Oswego, New York. His work passed through a non-representational, Abstract-Expressionist phase. He began to use typical elements of commercial art, comics and advertisements in his drawings and painting. From 1960 to 1963 he taught at Douglass College, Rutgers University, New Jersey. In 1963 he moved to New York. In 1985 he produced a mural for the Equitable Center, New York. In 1987 he had a retrospective of his drawings at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and at the Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, 1988. He died of pneumonia in 1997.
His famous quotes: Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms. Roy Lichtenstein
But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes. Roy Lichtenstein
But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it. Roy Lichtenstein
I don't have big anxieties. I wish I did. I'd be much more interesting.
Born in 1923 in New York.
