Art principles photos

COLOR- I would use this image above to teach about color. I would plan this around the fall time and point out to the students each of the colors in the photo, and then talk about other places they see these colors of orange, green, brown, and white around them. 

UNITY- I would use this image to teach about unity. Each of the squares is its own square and different color, but they all come together to form one unified rug. 

TEXTURE- I would use this photo to teach about texture. This image is kind of a honeycomb image that you would be able to feel. 

SHAPE- I would use this image to teach my students about shapes. This is a good real life example of shapes around them. This is a good example of squares, rectangles, and circles. 

EMPHASIS- I would use this image to teach about emphasis. The photo uses a gold frame and black letters so those stick out in comparison to the white background. 


 Extension activity-- I would have the students find different elements and principles of design in a magazine or other form of media of their choice. I would have them create a collage of these items and then accompany the collage with a description of the different elements they included in their collages.

Skyline printmaking

Image
Description: For this project, we created a skyline using printmaking techniques. We began by painting a sunset background with watercolors, applying the wet-on-wet technique to achieve a smooth, realistic sunset effect on the watercolor paper. Afterward, we set the paintings aside to dry. While the sunsets were drying, we started working on our print. We used a piece of paper the same size as our foam plate to design a skyline of our choice, ensuring it included at least three structures. We then taped the paper onto the foam printmaking plate and traced the design with firm pressure. Once the design was transferred, we removed the paper and retraced the outline on the foam to ensure it was deeply pressed. Next, we applied black printmaking ink to the foam using a brayer and tested the print on scrap paper to check the design. After confirming it was ready, we applied a second layer of ink and pressed the foam plate onto our dried sunset background. Extension: Something you could do a...

Hidden safari

Image
We began this lesson by making red glasses to us later on in our project. Then we went through a power point of different safari animals that we had to find hiding in their surroundings which gave us great insight into the jungle and animals that live there. Then we did some practice with upside down line drawing. After that, we got to pick our own animal that we were going to upside down draw. We then used a light blue to draw that animal and then made a thick pattern over it with warm colors to help hide our animals like the jungle does for the Safari animals. Once our animal was drawn and hidden we got to look at it with the red glasses which hit the pattern and made our animal stick out. Then we write out the characteristics to help our peers guess our animal.  I think a good extension would be doing this during a geography unit where you are teaching all the different biomes around the world and letting students pick a biome and an animal that would fit in that biome.
