The lessons main concept was to develop the students understanding of warm and cool color palettes, patterns, lines, composition and abstract imagery. It also has strong art history component by introducing art students to Hundertwasser (1928-2000), "a visionary and responsible creator, who mobilized the power of his art in order to spread his message for a life in harmony with nature and the individual creativity. Hundertwasser was a symbolic figure for a non-conformist way of life, a forerunner of environmental protection and an ambassador for a self-determined alternative existence."
A wonderful resource for students is Harvesting Dreams: Hundertwasser Kids by Barbara Stieff and Hundertwasser (Taschen 25th Anniversary) by Harry Rand.
