Australian Aboriginal maps

After learnig about Australian aboriginal art. I created a map of someplace that I go to everyday. Created in the image of the aboriginal art. we also learned about cross hatching and pointillism and incorporated that into our own work.

Andy Warhol Prints

After learning about Andy Warhol, we used Styrofoam to make a stamp like print. I carved into the stryofoam, put paint on the stamp and pressed the plate to the page.

Georgia O'Keefe Watercolors

After learning about Georgia O'Keefe, we created watercolor paintings much like her own using a view finder to simplify the image.

Collograph

After learning to make a collograph, I made a print of this bug. I layered scraps of paper then placed a sheet of paper over to make a crayon rubbing. Then inked the plate to make an ink print that was pressed onto a sheet of paper.

Snowflakes

Using coffee filters, I cut then colored with washable markers to create these symmetrical snowflakes by adding water to make the colors blend together.

Chinese Bamboo Painting

Tiffany lampshades.

Using permanent markets, I colored on transparency paper to create a colored image that light can get through.

Picasso Head and textured squares

This assignment was to create a blind contour drawing. Mine is of my husband Dallin. Then we created drawn texture and used that to place into the areas of the face.

Lesson plan revised

Collographs:

Self-portrait

Grade 6

Description of Lesson Plan

Students will cut geometric shapes to form a self-portrait.

Materials needed

· Construction paper or card stock

· Scissors

· Paint/ ink

· Brayer

· Glue sticks

· Pencil

· Crayons

· Photograph of each child

Teachers resources

· Created examples of collographs to show the students

· Examples of what a plate is and looks like

· Grading Rubric

· Prepared presentation of art “masterpieces” that includes the work of geometric, realistic, and abstract portraits.

Objectives

· Students will be able to identify geometric shapes. (C)

· Students will be able to create geometric shapes. (P)

· Students will learn what a self portrait is. (C)

· Students will be able to create a collograph. (P)

Standards Addressed

· Geometric Shapes- able to draw geometric pictures.

· Cutting the shapes into a face- able to think abstractly.

· Geometric Shapes- seeing and combining basic shapes found in common everyday objects.

Vocabulary

· Geometric Shapes: circles, squares, rectangles and triangles.

· Collograph: relief print pulled from a "plate" that is made by placing textured materials on a surface

· Plate: made to enable relief printing processes

· Abstract art: A trend in painting and sculpture in the twentieth century; a break away from traditional representation of physical objects

· Realistic art: resembling real life; to represent things as they really are; realism is also known as naturalism

Pedagogy

1. Teach about geometric shapes.

2. Show students famous abstract and normal paintings of portraits.

3. Show examples of a plate and collograph and how to make one.

4. Give construction paper and scissors to each student.

5. Have students cut out the shapes in their faces to make a self-portrait. Students will have a picture of themselves in front of them to find and make the shapes of their face.

6. Have students glue the shapes of their face on the paper.

7. Cover face with regular paper.

8. Using a brayer and paint or ink, paint over the self-portrait.

9. Place a sheet of paper on top of the wet paint, and peel off.

10. While the students are waiting for their turn with the paint and brayer, they will make a print from using their crayon by rubbing the crayon on the paper over top of their art project.

Assessment

· Class critique.

· Rubric designed to show whether or not the students followed the instructions correctly.

Adaptations/Integrations/Accommodations

This project can be integrated in to a math lesson about geometric shapes. One way to help students with special need, would be to explain what geometric shapes are. Then have shapes already cut for them to assemble on their
