Rimer Cardillo (Uruguayan, b. 1944), “Piedras Blancas Butterfly” from “Sublime Jewelry Series”, 1978-79, Cast and engraved polyester resin plate embossed prints with found object and zinc or copper plate intaglio prints on paper
Rimer Cardillo and the Deep Ecology of a Sacred Nature
Environmental issues (and how they are affected by real politics and economic factors) are a principle focus of Rimer Cardillo’s works since the late 1970s. His multimedia work—which ranges from prints to large-scale installations—incorporates found objects and a variety of materials ranging from paper, to clay, to wood. Cardillo’s art directly confronts the loss of animal species and the destruction of plant life. His work explores our human relationship with the natural environment and our responsibilities to protect nature.
Kindergarten – 5th Grade: After viewing Cardillo’s work, students will use pattern, print, and texture to create an environment for their chosen insect.
6th-12th Grade: After viewing Cardillo’s work, students will learn the explore the intricacies of scientific illustration of insects and learn various shading techniques to visually represent various textures.
