Grade: 1st

Teacher: Aletha Keogh

Big Idea: Looking Around: Seeing Our World

Timeframe: 4 Classes

Enduring Understanding:

1.17-The student will talk about the elements and content of artworks using art vocabulary

Content Objectives

• Understand that artists help us find beauty in our world

• Find and describe lines and shapes in the environment and in artworks

• Practice making lines, changing line direction and creating shapes

• Understand that artists choose and organize shapes when they make art

• Create a collage using a variety of shapes

Language Objectives:

• Prewriting: Note that the artist usually does preliminary sketches for a work of art, just as writers create first drafts. These first steps in the creative process are very similar. Point out that what is in the first step of a piece of writing or art may not be in the finished product

Key Vocabulary, Artists and Art History:

• Shape

• Geometric

• Collage

• Cityscape

• print

Red Cityscape by Paul Brent

Art Materials: crayons, 12x18 drawing paper, tempera paint (variety of colors), cardboard cut into small pieces, plates, smocks, 12x18 tag board, 11x17 wallpaper samples, glue sticks, scissors, variety of colored paper cut into rectangles and squares, variety of colored paper strips

Procedure

Transition/Bridge:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

• Beautiful Buildings: Today we’ll think about some beautiful places in the world around us. Then we will make a drawing so that you can practice using lines to make shapes. Your drawing will show a beautiful place.

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

• Images from pg 8 and 9.

• What different types of lines are in the artwork?

• How does the artist use shape?

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

• Images from PowerPoint

• What do you see in this picture?

• What lines and shape help to show a beautiful place?

• What is special about the artwork?

Motivation:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

• Our world is full of buildings—schools, the post office, grocery store, hospitals. We live, work and play in buildings. Sometimes we like buildings because they are so beautiful. Today we will see how different kinds of lines help us make some buildings beautiful places.

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

• Remind students that artists look for beauty in the world around them. They use lines—often, lines that cross to make shapes—to create artwork.

• Today we will make a line print painting. Their artwork will show how lines and shapes can show the beauty of a place.

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

• Some artists have fun with shapes. You have seen that when lines connect, they form shapes. If you look around our world, you will see many different kinds of shapes.

Presentation:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

• Review types of lines. Look at artworks and ask students to identify different types of lines. How are the pictures of the Taj Mahal the same and different? Can you find curved, straight, wavy, thick and thin lines?

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

• Brainstorm a variety of places that children find beautiful.

o What place will your artwork show?

o What kinds of lines will you use?

o Will you use squares? What other shapes might you use?

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

• Introduce geometric as a term that names shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. Draw each shape on the board as you name it.

• What geometric shapes do you see in the cityscapes?

Practice:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

• Demonstrate how to use different lines in a variety of sizes to create buildings.

• Show students how to fill the whole paper.

• Discuss how you add details to create texture

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

• Model the use of the cardboard tools. Give students time to experiment with different lines and shapes.

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

• Today students will be making a cut paper picture of a city. A cut-paper picture is called a collage. A picture of a city is called a cityscape.

• Demonstrate how to use a variety of shapes and size papers to create buildings. Use smaller geometric shapes to create details.

Activity:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

• Students will choose an imaginary or a real place for their drawing. Students will fill their whole paper using different types of lines to create a variety of buildings.

• Formative Assessment: Ask students what lines they are using? Have you filled your whole paper? Have you shown texture?

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

• Students will choose an imaginary or a real place for their drawing. Students will fill their whole paper using different types of lines to create a variety of buildings.

• Formative Assessment: Ask students what lines they are using? Have you filled your whole paper? Have you shown buildings in different sizes?

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

• Students will choose an imaginary or a real place for their drawing. Students will fill their whole paper using different geometric shapes to create buildings.

• Formative Assessment: Ask students what geometric shapes they are using? Have you filled your whole paper? Have you shown buildings in different sizes? Have you added details?

Conclusion

Assessment:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

Today we used two elements of art to create our buildings lines and_____. and/or Today we used two elements of art to create our buildings shapes and _______.

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

In your picture, did you use cardboard tools to make lines and shapes or to sign your name?

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

Is an artwork made with shapes cut from paper called a collage or photograph?

Close:

DAY 1: DRAWING BUILDINGS

What is the subject of our artwork, a landscape or a cityscape?

DAY 2: LINE PRINTING

I’m going to say some words, raise your hand when I come to a word that names a kind of line or shape-curved, circle, blue, straight, apple, zig-zag.

DAY 3 and 4: CREATE CITYSCAPE COLLAGE

Raise your hand when I name a geometric shape—circle, square, puddle, rectangle

Differentiated Instruction:

Special Needs: Physically Challenged:

To help children control their papers as they stamp and paint, tape their papers to the table.

Create precut shapes for students who have trouble cutting to help them get started with their cityscape

Connections:

Geography Connection: Explain that there are different kinds of beautiful buildings around the world. Ask children if any of them have ever taken a trip or lived somewhere else that had a beautiful building. Have them tell classmates the place and describe the lines in the building and why they think the building is beautiful.

Science Connection: Before or after children create their artwork, discuss how various materials in nature are used. For example, wood is seen in trees but also in

buildings made of wood; stone may appear on a mountainside but also in a wall. Ask children how they might use (or how they did use) lines to show natural materials.
