Elements & Principles of Art

-


We completed an elements and principles of art scavenger hunt. We walked around campus and took photos of items that represented each element. We then worked with a partner to create a presentation out of the photos that we took to share with our peers. 


Extension Activity: Students will pair up with a partner to go on a scavenger hunt around the school. They will be assigned five of the elements and principles of art to complete for this assignment. Students will then make a PowerPoint presentation with definitions and photos of the elements that they were assigned and present it to the class.

Hidden Safari

-
Image
We created a hidden safari by using the upside-down drawing method. We picked an animal of our choosing and began drawing it. We lightly drew the animal in a cool color (blue). After we finished our drawing, we drew over it with warm-colored patterns. We made glasses out of a red film and when we put the glasses on, we are able to see our animal that is hidden behind the warm-colored patterns and is not visible to the naked eye.  Extension Activity: Once the students create this assignment, we will have a whole group discussion. Students will show their drawings and share with their classmates the three clues that they chose to represent their animal. The rest of the class will have to guess what their animal is based off of the clues. After everyone has a chance to guess, the class will put on the glasses to see if their guesses were accurate.

Print Making Quilt

-

For this lesson, we used gel plates and stencils to create different patterns onto a piece of paper. We picked out whatever color of paint that we wanted and we also picked out our own stencils. After we painted the gel plate with our choice of color, we laid the stencil down and rolled over it with a roller. Once the pattern was visible on the plate, we put down the piece of paper and rolled over it again. After rolling over the piece of paper completely, we carefully peeled it off and then layered the gel plate with another paint color and stencil to create a pattern once again. We repeated this process over and over again until we completed multiple different patterns. We then cut out our patterns into small squares and glued them onto a piece of construction paper, creating a "quilt".  Extension Activity: I would bring in my quilt that my grandmother made me out of t-shirts and show the students all of the different types of patterns/materials that quilts can have!
