 * WEEK OF October 13 -15th : All materials for this lesson should be near the teacher computer on a gray chair. Project the sample below as you give __explicit__ instruction.**

LESSON OBJECTIVE:
Students will create a pumpkin landscape showing awareness of positive (used) and negative (empty) space using **geometric** shapes (straight edges and points/vertices only. Explain the difference between **organic** and **geometric** shapes - **organic** are curvy.

MATERIALS:

 * scissors
 * glue sticks
 * black construction paper for background
 * orange paper (pumpkin shape)
 * green paper (ground & stem)
 * blue paper (sky / background)

CONTENT & LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES:
INSTRUCTIONS:
 * 1) Start with the pumpkin and finish it first.
 * 2) Add green stem and ground
 * 3) Blue sky last
 * 4) Pieces may touch the edge of paper, but not hang off the edge.
 * 5) Cut, then glue before cutting again - otherwise paper will be wasted.
 * 6) Apply glue to cut/small piece - not to background paper = craftsmanship rule.
 * 7) Because this is a lesson on negative space, pieces need to **NOT TOUCH.**
 * WEEK OF October 6 - 10th: **

MATERIALS:

 * =====** The following pdf needs to be copied on white 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock for this lesson **=====
 * [[file:Concentric Circles.pdf]] one per student. **
 * ** Assorted colors waterbase markers distributed in red baskets **
 * ** graphite pencils or black pens for tracing hand. **

LESSON OBJECTIVE:

 * //Students will be able to determine the difference between Warm//** and //**Cool**// colors. Warm colors are generally colors that are associated with things that are warm: The sun, ovens, summertime, overheated cars, sweaters and exercising. Cool colors remind us of things that are cool: Swimming pools, snow, ice tea, rainy days, the sea and a breeze. Warm and cool colors are helpful to remember when you're trying to figure out what colors to paint or color your picture.
 * Outline your hand on top of the concentric circles. //If you have tiny hands and want a challenge, you can outline two hands!//
 * Start with your background Cool colors: Blue, Violet and Green. Count out the stripes to make sure you don't miss any. I usually make a mark inside each stripe so I don't lose track of which color I'm using.
 * After you finish your background, take out your Warm colors: Red, Orange and Yellow. Match up the colors to their compliments and fill them in. Don't forget little shapes of the fingers that may overlap into two different colors!

ASSESSMENT:
Coloring is done in a pattern without skipping any of the concentric segments. Hand is colored in warm colors only. Background is colored in cool colors only.

WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 29TH:
You need to print the following document on cardstock for each student. Reams of cardstock are on shelf underneath the printer in the back of the room.

LESSON OBJECTIVE:
Students will create their own "accurate art resource" of a color wheel and color theory chart

MATERIALS:

 * printed blackline of "The ABC's of ART" by M.C. Gillis (need to copy attached pdf below)
 * baskets on tables of assorted twistable crayons and color pencils
 * Project video below while beginning instruction

CONTENT & LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES:
Students will explore the basic concepts of color theory while filling in the information on paper with the proper colors. They will learn and be able to reiterate the following colors.... media type="custom" key="26622230"
 * Primary colors
 * Secondary colors
 * Intermediate colors
 * Warm colors
 * Cool colors
 * Complimentary colors
 * Analogous colors
 * Rainbow colors
 * ASSESSMENT:**
 * 1) **Does coloring show a solid color? (no scribble marks)**
 * 2) **Is all coloring done inside the lines**
 * 3) **Has the student used the proper color as the example**
 * 4) **Could this chart be used to teach from?**

=
Talk first about drawing your face. Oval head (taking up most of the space), then ears in the middle, then hairline from one ear to the next, line for the part of the hair if its a girl, eyes where the ears are in the middle, then nose half way b/w eyes and chin, and lips half way b/w nose and chin (its all about halves or middles). Look at many different hairstyles and how to draw them from the hair line. Use the students for examples when showing this orientation. Color theory will be discussed more when mural is put together.=====

MATERIALS:
5' X 8" Index cards - should be by paper cutter, if not, there are packages under the printer in back of the room. Students create with coloring tools - no pencils first.

=
Using 6 of the tables in the art room, distribute 2 baskets of colors per table - one basket with twistable crayons and color pencils and one basket with the water base markers. One table will be all reds, one all purples, pinks, lavenders, one all blues, one all greens, one all yellows and golds, one all oranges, ....Because they are using markers, pencils and crayons, it will allow for various shades and hues of the same color.===== Encourage best coloring - no scribble marks. Monitor proper use of the twistables and tight marker tips.

CONTENT & LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE:
When finished with portraits, have students add line designs and patterns to the background. Names in bottom right corner "small" or on back of paper. Hold onto these - DO NOT SEND BACK TO CLASS...they will be mounted on a strip of butcher paper showing color theory. The above picture links to lesson website if you would like to look at it.

CONCLUSION & ASSESSMENT: How does portrait compare to the actual artist. Compare. Where would each portrait go on a color wheel.?

 * WEEK OF September 8 - 19th (2 week lesson) the 17th is part 2 of a 2 part lesson. **

MATERIALS:[[image:art4cast/Screen Shot 2014-09-09 at 6.03.12 PM.png align="left"]]
Large heavy white drawing paper (on large paper cutter), graphite pencils (front of room on floor by pencil sharpener - may need to be sharpened), **WEEK 2:** water based color markers (these are in a big tub in back of room and need to be divided out into red baskets and put on about 6 of the tables)

**OTHER RESOURCES:** Assorted cardboard shapes (in ziplocks back of room between cutting board and my desk - these can be mixed up and spread out on the tables so students have lots of choices.)

 * WEEK 2:** Stapled packets of line designs and patterns,

LESSON OBJECTIVES:
The students will review the art elements shape, space, and texture. The student will create a collage using each of these art elements.

CONTENT & LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES:
DEMONSTRATE TRACING UNDER THE DOCUMENT CAMERA - __//pressing down firmly on the shape, holding pencil straight up as the// //tip presses against the edge//__ Before you call your work finished, make sure you have filled your space with your shapes, and have filled each shape with your textures. Mount your work and display for everyone to enjoy. WORK WILL BE MOUNTED ON BLACK CONSTRUCTION PAPER by classroom teachers.
 * WEEK 1:** One way to create space in a work of art is by __overlapping, that is having one shape in front of others.__ Using your cut out shape, trace around the edges in the __**center**__ of your white paper. We will continue tracing shapes, only we want all the other shapes we trace off to look as though they're behind the central shape. To do this, lay your shape somewhere near the central shape. **When tracing the second shape, trace along all lines until you come to the outline of the central shape.** Continue this process until you've filled the paper with overlapping shapes.
 * WEEK 2: U**sing your markers, fill each shape with a different texture. Texture is the quality of a surface. Name different surface qualities furry, rough, smooth, etc. Creating visual texture makes your drawing more interesting. It is not difficult to do, but requires patience. To create a texture, simply come up with some mark (an x for example) and repeat it, letting the mark overlap itself until you fill the area. Look around your room to get ideas and examples for different textures. Once each of your shapes has a texture on it, color in your backgrounds solid.
