Abstract | With all the noise in the world, the flotsam and jetsam sensory input from the media, from friends, from family, from life, it is an arduous task to have students slow things down and focus on the simple, raw elements of their world. Specifically related to art class, the challenge is how to help students digest the work of Minimalist artists. In a global society, the author believes schools have done a great job preparing their students to think globally, to think about the "big picture." However, the frustration in regard to looking at Minimalist-type artwork is guiding students to understand and enjoy the simplicity in the work. This article discusses how the author introduces Minimalism to studio-art students. Although there are many artists that could be used as examples of Minimalism, the author has found the work of Mark di Suvero and Kenneth Snelson work well. In this art project, middle- and high-school students will define Minimalism, recognize Minimalist artwork, understand and employ the use of line, shape, color, balance and form in their sketches and final product, and evaluate the success of their final product by using a rubric.
