Sneak Peek at Remington Art Curriculum
Art history comes to life when Meet the Masters students study Frederic Remington. Students explore his realistic paintings which recorded details of the American “Old West.” His beautiful landscapes and action-packed scenes help students relive this significant time in American history.
Meet the Masters students view PowerPoint slides showing Remington’s paintings while hearing stories of his life and exciting adventures. To experience life in the cavalry of the Old West, Remington camped with the soldiers and spent his days with them on horseback. His paintings realistically capture his personal experiences. He spent evenings sitting by the campfire listening to cowboys tell exciting tales of their adventures and experiences. Later he turned their words into sketches. Students examine several of Remington’s paintings for the details and the dramatic moments he depicts. They examine a painting with Indians bracing for battle and notice a lone brave on his horse galloping to escape, his horse’s flesh shiny with sweat. Paintings like these made Remington a popular and important illustrator, showing students how an artist becomes a historian.
Step 2: Learning From the Master
Now it is time to practice the techniques Remington used to make his paintings come to life. Student packets include mostly self-guided worksheets where they can prepare by drawing landscapes that capture the hills and mountains of the western scenery. Students practice details like cactus with short, sharp thorns. Using “perspective” techniques, they practice drawing foreground cactus larger and with more detail than the smaller background cactus. Now students are ready to create their own Old West landscape.
