Celebrating the Art of Modern Artist Oliver Lee Jackson

Описание: Born in 1935 Oliver Lee Jackson is an American painter, sculptor, draftsman, printmaker, and educator with a holistic view of art and a penchant for mixing and matching styles. With exceptional work too often overlooked, according to curators Simon Kelly and Hannah Klemm from the Saint Louis Art Museum, Oliver Lee Jackson creates pieces that demand “close looking.” In this retrospective, they discuss his career, style, methods, and perspective as they share twelve works of art spanning over 50 years. ‪@whoelselovesart‬

Quick Ideas for Using the Video with Students:
1. Use the video as part of your art history study. Were students aware of Oliver Lee Jackson’s work before viewing the video? What is student response to his work? How does his work also provide insight in to the times he lived in?
2. Have students engage in a "response activity" to Mr. Jackson's work. What do they like? Dislike? What do they think of they style? The medium? The technique? What do they think Mr. Jackson is painting about? What ideas come to mind when they look at his art? Have students express their response through a forum of their choice--writing, performance, song, art work, etc.
