Lesson Title: Colors Around the Wheel
LESSON OVERVIEW Summary of the task, challenge, investigation,
career-related scenario, problem, or community l
Students will have a lesson on colors and the types of colors schemes there are, they
fill out their own color wheel following the example presented using the primary colors
and white and black to make the tints and shades
Students will create a stain glass window like artwork by using a technique known as
plating, which is essential layering two pieces of glass to produce the color or shade th
want. (Although in the activity they will be using cellophane sheets of different colors.
2.1.1: Identify the elements of art and the principles of design (e.g. name, define, and
apply one or more of the elements and/or principles.
2.1.2: Evaluate the use of the elements of art in solving a visual art problem
2.1.4: Create works that use the elements of art to solve a visual art problem
4.2.1 Examine the functions and explore the meaning of specific works of art within varied cultures, times, a
places.

Differentiated Instructional Strategies to Provide Intervention &

1. Cut cellophane sheets into small pieces. Strips, squares, rectangles, triangles, or random shapes are easiest
cut. Circles and curves are more difficult, due to the delicacy of the film. Place pieces in a small, flat containe
so they may be easily sorted.
2. Distribute one piece of adhesive film to each student. The film may be cut easily into shapes or left as a
rectangle.
3. Carefully peel away backing paper to expose the adhesive. For best results, peel half of the paper up and fo
back so half of it remains covered and allows for a place to rest the hand. Adhesive is very sticky.
4. Layer the cut-out shapes so they overlap one another. Shape patterns can be very random or thoughtfully
planned with repetition and color placement. Here are some hints: Keep shapes in a container until it's time
place them, so they don't accidentally stick to the film and have to be pulled up. Work with a piece of white
paper underneath so it is easier to see the colors as they overlap. Fill the entire piece of film with shapes, so
that no adhesive is left exposed. It's okay for pieces to not be completely attached or loose. They will be
secured in the next step.
5. In a separate container, mix a solution of two parts polymer gloss medium and one part water. Brush over t
top of the cellophane pieces. This will add gloss and secure any loose ends. 6. Allow to dry and display in a
sunny window. Scrap pieces of adhesive film can be used to help hang the "veils."

Lesson Title: Shade It In
LESSON OVERVIEW Summary of the task, challenge,
investigation, career-related scenario,
problem, or community link.
Students will get a worksheet that will have a series of boxes where
they will fill in the different values according to the graphite system,
they will also use different techniques such as cross hatching and
stippling.
Students will also receive a handout where they will learn to use
value directly by shading in a sphere and learning the names of the
different types of shadows. (Cast shadow, mid-tone, core shadow
highlight, reflected highlight.
For the finial part of the lesson they will create a self-portrait in all

Basic Critique (Sandwich Method)
Handout on techniques used
For the first handout students are to learn the proper use of each graphite pencil (4H-6B).
They will start with the darkest color (6B) and change pencils gradually getting to the lighter pen
(H)
They will do the above two more times but do the stippling method and cross hatching method to
complete the activities
For the next handout they will follow the directions to fill in the different shadows using the right
value the they had previously learned.

Lastly they will have their picture taken in black and white
Then they will grid their photography and they will double the measures they make to enlarge the
grid onto the blank white sheets
They will have a few days to work on their self-portrait using the darkest of the values to white of
the paper.

Summarizing, Reminding, Reflecting, Restating, Connecting
Students will learn importance of value and will enact that knowledge in the handouts and portrait proje
they will reflect by answering the EQs.

Lesson Title: Drawing the Line
LESSON OVERVIEW Summary of the task, challenge, investigation, career-
related scenario, problem, or community link.
We will start with a presentation on line and its different techniques. We then will have a brief wa
up, where we will execute each technique, the students are to do quick gestures of volunteer
students as well as contour drawings of their hands and blind contour of each other. (each one
varying from 30 seconds to five minutes.
After that brief warm up students will have object placed on their tables which they are to use the
previously learn techniques to recreate those objects using only the element of line
Throughout the activities the students will have to think logically about what line can used to cre
the appearance of dimension, value, and space. They will have map out how close to place the li
markings and what types of marking will help them give the illusion of form.
Students will learn about drawing medias such as felt tip pens, regular pens, and graphite pencils
and how each can be used in different manners to give some of the same illusion.

The teacher will then show examples of finished cross contour line drawings and set high expectations fo
completed work. Students will draw imagery first of their choosing in graphite lightly on 9" by 12" white
drawing paper. Then they will go over the graphite with markers and pens and enhance line quality and
create cross contour lines. Students will then erase pencil lines last.

Students will learn the importance of line to give illusion of realism and dimension.
Students will be able to practice the use of line through their assignment using the
different techniques. They will have to evaluate and analyze where exactly each line
should be placed and why it should be placed there.

Course Unit: Texture
Lesson Title: Textures Around You
LESSON OVERVIEW Summary of the task, challenge, investigation, career-
related scenario, problem, or community link.
Students will learn how to create different texture with a variety of mediums and
natural object that already contain texture.
Each student will have a turn in reaching into the texture box and will have to
guess what the object is based on what they feel.
They will then be let around the classroom or outside to each find unique texture
and for others to guess what that texture was based on what they see before
them.
Then students will learn how to create the illusion of texture through cutting
magazines segments that display fake texture
Students will also have a hand in creating their own fake texture through a mini
scratch book project where they will draw an animal that has various textures.
To finalize the lesson, the students will conduct a mini research project on the
problems with our eco system and display they through a collage based on textu

A box
PAGE 16
Textures found around the home or room. Examples: rubber bands, clips, sandpaper, cloth,
silk flowers, scissors.
Textures are all around us. We see them in nature, fur, whiskers, paw prints, we see them in the
kitchen, and we see them in the playground. But how can you place them in an art project?
First, a child must know what it is and how to describe it. Let us make a TEXTURE BOX and make
game out of the learning. This is an ordinary box 10" by 10" or larger. Place into this box anything
that can be described by the students, that has texture, size, weight, depth. The box has a hole in
the side. The student takes his hand places it in the box, picks up and object and describes the
object he is holding to the teacher or the adult or the class. Thus developing his verbal skills, and
also his tactile skills. The class then guesses what the object is and the one that guesses is the nex
one to the box.
PAGE 17
This leads to finding texture into magazines and a project call TEXTURE MAGAZINE MONTAGE.
(Many students have trouble understanding that textures can also be seen as well as felt. Many
students came to me and said "All the pages feel the same" For you see the eyes can detect textur
as well as the hands. The Montage Magazine assignment helps develop eye and hand coordination.
this assignment the student is to cut out textures from the magazine and glue them on to an 12" b
14" sheet of paper. The textures can be objects, or animals or plants as long as a texture can be
seen. This project stresses neatness, of glue and cutting and the covering and overlapping of the
objects on the page.
From this project we go to a COLLAGRAPH PRINTING PROJECT with textures. Using the texture
found in the box and other textures in the room these items will be cut and glued on to a picture o
cardboard of problems in the environment. List them for the student and describe the problem in th
eco system: Oil spills, fires, earthquakes, volcanoes, pollution of the world. Then draw the idea on
cardboard and cut carefully and glue the texture down to the picture on the cardboard. They must
have at least five different textures and no more than 1/4-inch-high off the cardboard. Add glue to
the top with a brush, this will hold the textures into place. Let dry one day. Then lay out newspape
on a table, the art work on the newspaper and the ink on a paper plate. Use a soft roller roll the in
over the textured collagraph. Place any type of paper on top of the collagraph and press with hand
Do not move the paper or you will get a double image. Lift the paper and you have a print of your
collagraph. Mount the print on cardboard for display.

Over all students will learn what kinds of texture each different unique surface makes. Students will will
analyze how they can use those surface to create texture but not only will they use real texture, student
will also be able to create their own sense of texture by their own hand or by other resources such as
