Lesson Plans by Discipline - Art History
Grades K – 4 |
Grade Level |
|
Students will study works of stained glass as a one dimensional art form and adapt what they learn to a three dimensional sculpture — a brilliantly-colored transparent mobile. |
|
|
Give students an opportunity to enjoy creating random organic forms with color and transparency similar to actual glass. |
|
|
"Drawing with Thread" is an interpretation of work by Wassily Kandinski in 1913. Kandinski is called the first totally abstract artist. Free flowing water color and line suggests but does not define images. |
|
|
This project uses pastels – a favored medium of Impressionist artists – drawn onto matte surface Shrink Film. The chalk of the pastels doesn't actually shrink, it simply condenses along with the film to form rich, intense areas of color. |
|
|
"Secco" is the term used for applying color to dry plaster, the manner Da Vinci used in his famed "The Last Supper." Using Plaster of Paris, students create drawings then purposefully add stress fractures. |
|
|
Introduce students to Pop-Art while creating fun, colorful ties. |
|
|
Students will create beautiful and fantastic cities while being introduced to the world of architecture and the concept of perspective. |
