Interdisciplinary Connections: English Language Arts English Language Arts Common Core State Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.2.1c; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.2.6; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.2.1 Essential Questions: Essential Questions/Enduring Understandings What is color? How can colors depict or emphasize a mood or emotion? Why would an artist limit their palette of colors? Why is color such an important element of art for an artist to utilize? Enduring Understandings: Moods and emotions are often associated with colors and used in everyday living such as advertising and the food industry to name a couple. Due to this relationship, a color can enhance the message or theme of a piece of artwork. Limiting color choices can add to emphasis of a focal point, thus drawing more attention to a particular message trying to be conveyed. People make different associations with color due to their own personal experiences. Color in artwork allows people to make various personal connections and interpretations.

Realistic? Imaginary? How does math influence perspective in art? What is space, in relation to visual art? Enduring Understandings:
The ways in which an artist chooses to depict a place depends on the message or theme they are trying to convey. Perspective is generated by an object s size in relation to its place/space; mathematics becomes involved when an artist uses a vanishing point to which all angles, points and/or sides of an object align with that point. Perspective can be brought down to a series of lines, angles and points: geometry. Space can be the given area an artist created his/her work within or space can be how that given area is utilized.

A.1 Apply critical thinking and problem-solving strategies during structured learning experiences. 9.1. F.2 Demonstrate a positive work ethic in various settings, including the classroom and during structured learning experiences. Theme: Element of Line and technique of wax resist Inter- disciplinary connections: Science, English Language Arts Introduction: What is the difference between direction and type of line? Compare line direction to a person standing up straight versus laying down to represent vertical and horizontal. Discuss diagonal/slanted. Name as many different types of lines as possible, and illustrate them on the board. Discuss what resist means, with visual example, also discuss how oil (and things with similar properties) do not mix nor blend together.
Essential Questions: Can a straight (zig-zag, curly, etc.) line be drawn in any direction? Can a line depict movement? What is a wax resist? Enduring Understandings: Any type of line can be drawn in any direction, with the exception of a spiral. Lines can depict movement and mood. Water cannot penetrate wax, therefore when watercolor paints are applied properly over crayon or oil pastels, the watercolor paints will not adhere to the other medium. The Task: You are going to draw 10 different lines with a white oil pastel, and 10 more lines and/or shapes with two other colored pastels. You will be timed! Then you will perform a magic trick! You will be able to see all the white lines that you drew. The magic trick is the wax resist. Process/ or Steps: Websites: 1. Discuss difference between direction of line and type of line. 2. Illustrate and name different types of line guided by student discussion. 3. Make a correlation between a type of line and what type of movement or mood it correlates with. 4. Each student will take a white oil pastel and two colored oil pastels. 5. In a game-like setting will make 10 lines going across their paper with their white oil pastel; they will be timed and doing this simultaneously. 6. They will make 5 more lines/shapes with each of their two colors. 7. Introduce the wax resist technique via teacher demonstration. 8. Physically illustrate the definition of resist with student participation; explain how the wax of the oil pastels, or crayons, will resist the water and hence the color of the water color paints. 9. Students will be assessed via rubric and artwork will be displayed. 10. Each student will look at another student s work and write a poem that describes the colors and lines, as well as the movement and mood generated by the elements of art. www.awesomeartists.com

What can be used to create a pattern? Where are patterns found in nature? How can an artist create rhythm or movement in a stationary piece of artwork? Why is balance important in art? What are different ways a composition can be balanced? What is symmetry and what are the different types of symmetry? Where can you find examples of symmetry in nature? Enduring Understandings: Pattern is repetition of the elements of art or anything else; there are patterns in music, in math, jumping jacks are a pattern of repeated movements, patterns are everywhere. Patterns are found quite frequently in nature, in animals on their feathers or fur, insect wings, reptile or fish scales; flowers and plants; bricks on a house; rainbows; clouds, etc. An artist can create rhythm or movement by using one or a combination of the elements of art or principles of design. Balance is important in art because no matter what type of balance is present within the composition it will help draw the viewer to the focal point, thus enhancing the message or theme. Different types of balance include symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial.
Symmetry is when things are exactly the same on either side of a line; when shape is exactly the same when you flip, slide or turn it. Types of symmetry are bilateral or reflection symmetry, radial or rotational symmetry, translational symmetry, and asymmetry, or lack of symmetry. Examples of symmetry in nature are everywhere, from tree leaves to butterfly wings, from flowers to humans. Student Learning Objective (NJDOE Model Curriculum) What students should know and be able to do? 1. Distinguish patterns in nature found in works of visual art. 2. Create works of art that are based on Instructional Strategies/Activities (How will the students reach the learning targets?) Students will discover and be able to verbally identify examples of patterns and symmetry in nature. They will work in small groups or pairs to record their observations. They will write there examples of where they found symmetry in nature and three observations of where they found symmetry in artwork. Students will work individually, using lateral symmetry to create a butterfly. Modifications/Extensions (How do I differentiate?)

Inter-disciplinary Connections: English Language Arts Introduction: Students will listen to the book Tar Beach, by Faith Ringgold. Students will discuss the elements of the story: the main characters, the plot and the setting. They will also discuss the meaning behind the title. Essential Questions: How can you show movement in art?
Enduring Understandings: You can use a combination of or repetition of specific elements of art, or a pattern, to create the illusion of movement. The Task: You are going to close your eyes and imagine yourself flying over your town, Roselle. What would the buildings look like? What would you look like flying over them? Where would you find patterns, looking down at the town, or even looking up at the sky? The artist Faith Ringgold often utilized fabric as a medium, you will be able to use fabric for your own clothing in the composition, you will be able to use paint on top of that fabric if you d like to create a pattern on the clothing. As you are drawing the buildings below yourself flying in the sky, what would they look like from your perspective? Could you see a pattern on the rooftops? In the streets? Is anyone flying along with you? Who? Process/ or Steps: 1. Read Tar Beach, by Faith Ringgold and discuss pertinent elements of story. 2. Introduce task. Students will draw their town below them flying over it. 3. As students are drawing buildings, review perspective how large or small are the buildings in relation to the figure of them flying in the sky? 4. As students are beginning to add color and detail, discuss if and where any patterns would be present. 5. Students can discuss and then demonstrate how to show movement of flight. 6. Students will implement the element of color. 7. Even though Faith Ringgold used mostly fabric in her artwork, students will be able to include this medium by cutting out and gluing on fabric for their clothing. 8. Upon completion, students will be self and teacher assessed via rubric. 9. Students will write a narrative on the following: You are flying again. Except this time you can choose to fly over anywhere in the world! Where would you choose to fly? What would it look like? Describe what you would see in detail. When would you fly there? What season and what time of day? Why did you choose this particular location? Explain at least two reasons why. Websites/Resources:
