Grade PreK-4:
Learning Standard 2.1:
For col or, explore and experiment with the use of color in dry
and wet media
Identify primary and secondary colors and gradations of black,
white and gray in the environment and artwork Explore how
color can convey mood and emotion
For example, students mix light and dark values of colors or
predict the results of overlapping and blending primary colors.
Learning Standard 2.2:
For line, explore the use of line in 2D and 3D works Identify a
wide variety of types of lines in the environment and in artwork
For example, students take a walk around the school and note
jagged, straight, curved, thick, and thin lines.
Learning Standard 2.3:
For texture, explore the use of textures in 2D and 3D works
Identify a wide variety of types of textures, for example,
smooth, rough, and bumpy, in the environment and in artwork
Create representations of textures in drawings, paintings,
rubbings, or relief
Learning Standard 2.4:
For shape and form, explore the use of shapes and forms in 2D
and 3D works
Identify simple shapes of different sizes, for example, circles,
squares, triangles, and forms, for example, spheres, cones,
cubes, in the environment and in artwork
Learning Standard 2.5:
For pattern and symmetry, explore the use of patterns and
symmetrical shapes in 2D and 3D works
Identify patterns and symmetrical forms and shapes in the
environment and artwork.
Explain and demonstrate ways in which patterns and
symmetrical shapes may be made
For example, a student folds and cuts paper to achieve
symmetry, or makes printed patterns.
Learning Standard 2.6:
For space and composition, explore composition by creating
artwork with a center of interest, repetition, and/or balance
Demonstrate an understanding of foreground, middle ground,
and background
Define and identify occurrences of balance, rhythm, repetition,
variety, and emphasis
Standard 3: Observation, Abstraction, Invention, and
ExpressionStudents will demonstrate their powers of observation,
abstraction, invention, and expression in a variety of media,
materials, and techniques.
Grade PreK-4:
Learning Standard 3.2:
Create 2D and 3D expressive artwork that explores abstraction
For example, a student simplifies an image by making
decisions about essential colors, lines, or textures.
Overarching Goal
The students will design a jellyfish landscape that includes the art elements
by applying different medias together to create texture, space, shape, and
line.
Essential Questions
Where can you find all of the elements of art around you?
Why are the art elements important to artwork?
Students will apply knowledge of all art elements to art works that are not
only created by them but all around them as well.
Motivation
Assessment/Rubrics
Rubrics:
1. elements rubric
Each seat at each table has a job (ex. table leader, noise monitor, folders,
supplies) for clean up and once the class has cleaned up if there is time the
set up for the next class begins.
Instructional Approaches
Sequence of Activities
Differentiated Instruction
and Adaptations
1. Students begin class with a discussion about why the art elements
are important to artwork. Students then continue with what elements
they see in the artwork example and how these elements make the
art more interesting.
2. Students then see a short demo on how to achieve certain effects.
3. Students begin by painting their background sheet of paper any
colors and designs they want to being careful not to add too much
water on their paper or create puddles so their background can dry
4. Once the students are done painting they continue by drawing their
jellyfish bodies and coloring them in by blending in colors of oil
pastel.
5. When all jellyfish are colored they can be cut out and yarn can be
glued to the background where the jellyfish is going to go with the
jellyfish glued right on top of the string so it looks like the string is
coming out of the jellyfish.
ELL- Students will get a one on one demo
