The lesson that came before this was the first day of scratch art mandalas. This is where the students
learned about reductive art and color blending with oil pastels.
Concept and Skills:

VA:Cr2.3.2a: Repurpose objects to make something new.

art or design.

Unity: allowing each individual element to coexist with one another to form an aesthetically

Purpose of Lesson:
The purpose of this lesson is to let the kids learn more about the history of mandalas but also
for them to understand how to create mandalas with balance, line and unity.
Learning Objective:
Given a presentation on mandalas, the students completed paper plates, toothpicks; and
sandwich picks, students will scratch mandalas on to the plate that successfully uses
reductive techniques to make clean lines which are symmetrical and has a unique design.
Assessment Criteria:

Formal: symmetry – clear and obvious use of symmetry
Conceptual: unique design – personal preference/interest
Teaching Resources Needed to Support the Lesson:

Presentation about mandalas and the design process regarding how to create the mandala and what

Art Materials Necessary for the Lesson:

Students completed plates, toothpicks, and paper clips.
Planning for Differentiation:

Early Finishers: to those that finish completely and have yet to finish their glasses can finish them, if
finished with the glasses then ask if they would like to add more details to their mandala.
Slow Workers: Reassure them that it is okay and ask if they need any help thinking of ideas to add to
their mandala.

Critical Comments and Reflections:

- This lesson really helped the students understand reductive art. It was great seeing them talk
about their reductive scratch art with one another and interacting with each of them.
- All of the students loved the final product and I myself was very proud and happy to see that
all of the students understood the project and adapted their own themes for their own
mandalas.
