Part 1 Language Arts:
Student Reading – Biography of Artist
TUSD Art Standards and Performance Objective:
Reading Informational Text: Knowledge-based information is an ever-changing expanding genre, which
encompasses daily communication. The ability to comprehend and analyze informational texts develops
critical thinking, promotes logical reasoning and expands one’s sense of the world and self.
Tayo Quaye
1954-
Tayo Quaye is a native of Nigeria. His childhood was during the
1960’s civil war. He attended Yaba Art School between 1976 and
1981, specializing in Painting has exhibited widely in Nigeria, USA,
United Kingdom as well as Trinidad and Tobago.
He studied art by accident. “I discovered that art is part of me
and I am part of art” when I got into high school. Initially, he did
not take art seriously because he never thought of becoming a
professional artist. He had thought perhaps Banking, Economics
or International Relations. The thought of belonging to a
particular art school did not cross his mind because his
impression of art was that of social order or social disorder,
“what I can see and what I can feel.” He presents his culture in
his art. After receiving a “good” rating on his artwork, knowing
he was capable of “great” motivated him to do more in art.
Quite a lot of things inspired him. Injustice inspires him to do a
lot of things. Tayo’s daily experiences inspire him at the initial
stage. He also enjoys reflecting on cultural, social, and political
activities. From time to time, he still goes back to cultural events
within the society.
Tayo’s aim is to create a work that can stand the test of time;
works that can give pleasure and record events of today either
good or bad. That is, “when I am not around”, that particular
work should be able to speak for itself. Tayo feels
3
uncomfortable when injustice is done and this is what he tries to
express with his art.
While both artists Matisse and Picasso worked with the linocut
medium, Quaye’s linocut artworks appear somewhat subdued as
far as individual line definition is concerned, leaving the viewer to
discern the boundaries of individual persons, places, and things on
his own.
There is pathos and horrors of war, but if one searches carefully
enough, there is also beauty and even humor—a difficult concept
to create. The concepts of political unrest, persecution, and war
are prevalent in Quaye’s works, yet there is still the underlying
art that is the reward of the viewer. Many of the works portray
the daily lives of families.

TUSD Arts Standards and Performance Objective:
Phonics
Phonics is the understanding of the symbol-sound relationship in written language. Students learn that there are predictable
connections between the sounds or phonemes that are spoken, and the letters or graphemes that are written. This knowledge is
important as students begin to decode unfamiliar words in text.
RF.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

PO 102. Use materials, tools, and techniques appropriately in his/her own artwork.
Styrofoam Block Printing
Materials:
Cookie sheet
Brayer
Styrofoam plates or meat trays (meat dept. at market)
Pencil
Fine grain sandpaper
Acrylic paints
White paper
Students can make successful block prints. Work with easy-tocontrol Styrofoam. Instruct students to use their pencil to draw their
design into the Styrofoam. They must press heavily so lines will sink deeply
into the foam. Give students a piece of fine grain sandpaper; they can share,
to lightly sand the foam. This will help the Styrofoam to absorb the paint.
The instructor should closely supervise the next step. Place a dab of
the color(s) of acrylic paint on the cookie sheet, roll the brayer through it,
now, and roll the brayer over the Styrofoam design that the student has
created. Roll it on carefully with a brayer to avoid filling in the “etched”
lines. If a plate becomes clogged, rinse under faucet, pat dry, and start
again. The student presses the Styrofoam block onto the paper. Repeat.
