ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN PROJECT

 

Unity: I choose to photograph these ducks because they are all the same lines up together even thought they are different colors. 


Texture: I felt this blanket showed good texture and you can envision what it would feel like by looking at this photo. 

Shapes: These wall decals show varying shapes, giving multiple examples. 



Colors: This lei has multiple colors and is very bright. 




Lines: I felt this photo showed lines in multiple ways. You can see the main line going down the middle of the road. There are also lines on either side of the road where the pavement meets the grass in the ditch. 




Extension Activity: I would do an extension activity with texture. I would have students create a textured picture of an animals habitat. I would supply various media like pipe cleaners, yarn, pom pom balls, buttons, etc. Students would also have the opportunity to bring materials from home or outside to complete their picture. This would be a good way to integrate science and art into one activity.

2D PAPER- ABSTRACT ART

Image
 Description: This project used abstract art, markers, water, and tinfoil to create the art piece shown. The first thing we did was use a sharpie to draw abstract designs on a white piece of paper. Then we used markers to color a pattern on a piece on tinfoil. Once we were done with the the tinfoil got sprayed with water and we were able to transfer the color onto our design. Since it was sprayed with water, the color spread creating a tie-dye effect which was super cool! We then framed the two designs we made on a sheet of paper.  Extension: For this project I would put a group of sight words into a hat and have each student randomly select on. Once they have their word picked out they would be instructed to hide each individual letter of the word in their abstract art piece. Students would need to keep their word a secret and once everyone is done the teacher would mix up and hand out each art piece to the students. The students would then have to find the letters in the piece and fi

CRAFT- POPSICLE WALL DECOR

Image
  Description: This is the project we created for our craft portion of the lessons. We started by sketching some patterns we wanted to use for our wall hanging. Once we decided on the patterns we wanted, we drew the patterns on the sticks. Next, we added the yarn tassels on the bottom stick and finished off the project by tying each stick together with a separate piece of yarn. This project was a lot of fun once you got the hang of the tying.  Extension: I think a really fun extension of this project would be to include motivational words or phrases to the sticks. These could then be used as either classroom decor or for the students to hang in their lockers. This would be a super unique way to customize a classroom and make the students feel more welcome and like they belong there.

PAINTING- ANIMAL HAND PAINTING

Image
Description: This project was very fun to create! We started by brainstorming animals that could be created by using our handprints. I decided on a peacock for my animal. Once this was chosen, we painted our hands and created the body for our animal with acrylic paint. While my animal was drying I added three features to the environment that the animal lives in using watercolors. I chose for my peacock to live on a farm so you can see I painted a barn, the grass with a tree and two small chickens by the barn. Once my animal was dry, I was able to add details to my peacock.  Extension: To add to this project, I would have students write a short story about the animal they chose. It could be a silly story, a realistic story, or a story telling the reader about the animal they chose. The art piece and the student stories would then be displayed for the class to see.
