Texture, Texture EVERYWHERE!

*This semester, we will focus on one Visual Element of Art per week

Title: Texture, Texture Everywhere!

Project: Students will learn about texture by filling in a line drawing with rubbings of textures around the playground, including the roughness of the asphalt, the wavy blades of grass, the smooth plastic of the playground, etc.

Goal:

-Continued learning of the Elements of Art

-Knowledge of the unlimited amount of textures in your own backyard!

-Use of imaginations!

Materials:

-journals

-crayons

-stack of photocopied scene

-mock up

Set Up:

-Set up tables in large rectangle

-Put out journals

-Pair journals with coloring supplies

-Hold onto photocopies for texture rubbings until journals are away.

Timeline:

-Students are to sit down

-Write in journal

-Introduction of student teachers

-Ask each student to share finished journal entry

-Collection of journals after with explanation that the teachers will write back for next week

Texture Talk:

-Give instruction of the day’s project by passing out the prepared copies.

-Show mock up, explaining that the image is filled with rubbings of the textures around the playground.

-Note that it is the texture within the image that defines the separate spaces, i.e.: we know this is the building because it matches the same rough texture across the page.

-Lead the class outside and let them loose!

-Tell them to try every surface! See what happens when you hold the paper to the brick and make a rubbing, and compare it to how a rubbing of the grass looks.

-When finished, return to classroom.

-Present!

-Clean up.

Journal Question: If you lived in the future, what would you invent?

*This semester, we will focus on one Visual Element of Art per week

Title: Rawr in the Jungle of Value!

Project: Students will learn about value by recreating a pre-rendered drawing of a grayscale dinosaur with the use of color. Then, they will have the chance to draw a scene for the dinosaur using their new knowledge of value in color. This drawing will then be placed over a black piece of paper and cut out, saving the newly created black shapes as shadows for a bigger scene.

Journal Question: Draw what you hear at night.

Goals:

-Continued learning of the Elements of Art

-Knowledge of value in color as well as in light versus dark

-Use of imaginations!

Materials:

-nametags

-journals

-colored pencils

-stack of photocopied dinosaurs, both blank and grayscale

-black paper

-colored construction paper

-scissors

-glue

-mock up

Set Up:

-Put out journals

-Pass out nametags

-Set up the remaining materials on one surface in the front of the room

Timeline:

-Students are to sit down; write names on nametag

-Write in journal

-Introduction of student teachers

-Ask each student to share his or her name and finished journal entry

-Collection of journals after with explanation that the teachers will write back for next week

Value Talk:

-Give instruction of the day’s project by passing out the prepared dinosaur copies.

-Ask students to draw the sun above the dinosaur in the place that they think would cast the pre-drawn shadows.

-Talk about value and its use of lights and darks and how these lights and darks can be used with both black and white and color.

-Have students recreate the value of the dinosaur by translating the grayscale into color.

-Give students time to add more to the scene, asking them to draw themselves or plants or whatever they want, keeping in mind the newly learned value.

-Have students hold black paper to the back of the white paper (with drawn images), and cut out the images.

-Keep the newly cut images, both white shapes and black shapes.

-Allow students to choose a colored piece of paper to draw a horizon line on.

-Show students how to glue the drawn images on the top of the horizon line, and black shapes on the bottom.

-Explain that they have just created a shadow for their images, the value between light and dark.

-Present!

-Clean up.
