Yayoi KusamaFor almost seventy years Yayoi Kusama has developed a practice, which, though it shares affiliations with Surrealism, Minimalism, Pop art, Eccentric Abstraction, the Zero and Nul movements, resists any singular classification.
Born in Matsumoto City, Japan in 1929, she studied painting in Kyoto before moving to New York in the late 1950s, and by the mid-1960s had become well known in the avant-garde world for her provocative happenings and exhibitions. Since this time, Kusama's extraordinary artistic endeavours have spanned painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, performance, film, printmaking, installation and environmental art as well as literature, fashion (most notably in her 2012 collaboration with Louis Vuitton) and product design
An enduring feature of Kusama's unique art is the intricate lattice of paint that covers the surface of her Infinity Net canvases, the negative spaces between the individual loops of these all-over patterns emerging as delicate polka dots. These motifs have their roots in hallucinations from which she has suffered since childhood, in which the world appears to her to be covered with proliferating forms. Forging a path between abstract expressionism and minimalism, Kusama first showed her white Infinity Nets in New York in the late 1950s to critical acclaim. She continues to develop their possibilities in monochromatic works which are covered with undulating meshes that seem to fluctuate and dissolve as the viewer moves around them.
My students tied to re paint
Another key motif is the pumpkin form, which has achieved an almost mythical status in Kusama’s art since the late 1940s. Coming from a family that made its living cultivating plant seeds, Kusama was familiar with the kabocha squash in the fields that surrounded her childhood home and the pumpkin continues to occupy a special place in her iconography. She has described her images of them as a form of self-portraiture
This is her work
Childrens’ title :Yellow melons
In language subject we learned the letter R,r and it was a great opportunity for my students to examine all Kusama’s art work about subjects which has the letter R,r.
Μανιτάρι – μανιτάρια
Mushroom – mushrooms
We also talk how we can write the plural of the words which end in –ι (singular ) –( ia ) ια ( plural)
We discuss about the colors and techniques she uses for her paintings.Which colors has the letter Ρ ρ ( R,r)
Πράσινο κίτρινο γραμμές μικρά στρογγυλά
Students will learn the vocabulary of contemporary sculpture and be able to distinguish between abstract and realistic sculpture, mobile and stabile, and biomorphic and geometric
WHICH VEGERABLES ARE IN THIS PAINTING?
Carrot – καρότοpeas – αρακάς radishes – ρεπανάκια
Find and cycle the letter r -ρ
And a few maths
How many are the radishes? 1 + 1 = 2How many are the peas? 4 + 4 = 8How many leaves have all the vegetables? 3 + 3 + 4 = 10How many leaves have the radishes? 3 + 4 = 7
Learning addition with Kusama
We compared the glasses
We found the similarities and the differensies of their shape, color e.t.c.

My students was very happy and excited when they drew this paintings
Write the number of yellow cyclesThe number of red , the blueHow many are big and small and compare them.
Write the title and the story of this painting.
Tell the faces feelingsWhy they are happy – why they are sad…
Where they live?
After this examination I asked my students
if they know a painter
who has similar technique with Kusama
Kandinsky’s approach to abstraction was supported by constant thought and examination of the problems involved and his theoretical statements often anticipate the paintings. Certainly, he was by far and away the most important artist to experiment with abstraction around 1910 and the only one who developed a thoroughly coherent style."
Wassily Kandinsky & Yayoi Kusama
The answer was Kandinsky and Miro
Our art program has been getting so many positive comments about the front entrance of our building and these vibrant mosaic silhouettes. Using marbled paper that the students made and thinking about color choice that coincided with their action or movement was very important.
