Austria: The Art and Architecture of Hundertwasser

Art by Friedensreich Hundertwasser

“A good picture is when the picture is full of magic, when you can feel the happiness in it, when it makes you laugh or cry, or when it makes something happen. It should be like a flower or a tree. It should be like Nature. It should be that we miss it when it isn’t there.” ~Hundertwasser

Sample Project by Ms. Ammons

Friedensreich Hundertwasser believed that nature and beauty were the keys to happiness. He loved nature and used natural themes in his artwork. Bright colors and shapes that make us think of nature (organic shapes) make his art seem very happy.  

This week, you will make a cheerful picture inspired by his art!
