Drawing- Wassily Kandinsky

-

 



Activity: For this activity, we started out by learning about Wassily Kandinsky. We did this by looking at some of his art work and a little about his  life. After that, we had a pre-assessment where we had to show if we knew what organic and geometric shapes were. We had to draw one of each and then create a pattern in them. After that, we got to take a piece if paper and add three geometric shapes onto it. After that was done, we added three organic shapes that had to overlap the geometric shapes. We then draw a line from one end of the paper to the next. I had made my line a squiggly line. We also had to create a pattern inside two of our shapes. After we had finished those steps, we got to paint. In order to paint, we had to listen to the Disney music that they had playing. When a song was on, we had to paint with the color that we thought would fit with the song. It was fun to be able to listen to a song and paint what we thought the mood was. Lastly, we signed our artwork. 


Extension Activity: An extension activity for this lesson could be having an activity that integrate Language Arts into it. One way this could be done is by having students do a writing activity about Wassily Kandinsky and their own art design. The writing activity could include a paragraph of things that they learn about Wassily Kandinsky and then a paragraph about their art design. Ideas for the paragraph for art design is why did you chose those shapes, why did you chose the colors, and what your favorite part about the activity was.

Printmaking

  Activity: We started this lesson by learning about printmaking and some of the artists. We got to look at a powerpoint that had some facts about the artist and some of their artwork. After that, we got to start being an artist. The first thing that we did was make a design that had three different patterns. After we made that design on paper, we have to trace it onto a piece of Styrofoam. Once we have the lines on the styrofoam, we went over it with a pencil to make the indents on the paper deeper. We then took a piece of paper where we did our background. You had to make the background either 3 warms colors or 3 cool colors. In my design, I had a background of three cool colors. We then got to do our print making. We had to pick a color that we wanted to use for the ink. I chose the color blue. You would take the ink and then roll into onto our styrofoam. We would have to choose a corner of the styrofoam to always be in the center. After that, we would print the ink onto our pap...

Footprint Introductions

Description: This is my footprint introduction. This is here to represent me and things that are important to me. I have added a volleyball because I play volleyball at NSU and want to coach after I graduate from NSU. I also added in my graduation year of 2023. I love to read books, so I added one of my favorite books which is Harry Potter. I am from Aberdeen, SD and I work at Ken's the grocery store. In this project, I have included more than three medias. These include: construction paper, marker, sharpies, magazine, and a posted note.  Extension Activity: An extension to this assignment would be that the students would create a footprint introduction like we did, but a little different. Instead of putting only things that we like, the students would add information in their culture and backgrounds. I feel like this would be a great way for other classmates and myself to learn more about a student and what they culture/background is like. You could have them trace both of their f...

African Masks

Activity: At the beginning of the class period, we got to learn about African Masks. They had given us some background on African masks, which included things like what they were, why they were used, and the meaning behind them. After that, we got to complete a pre test that had us draw 4 lines of symmetry on some pictures. They we had to draw 2 geometrics shapes and then create a pattern with the 2 geometric shapes. After that, we goto to start to design our masks. They started by having us create our mask on the back of our pre-assessment. After we had a design planned out, we got to transfer it to the construction paper. When we created our mask, we had to have three different design. Mine were the eye lashes, hair, and the pattern of squiggly lines. We also had to have three different parts of the design that was 3-D. Mine were the mouth, nose, and placing it onto the cardboard. After we finished designing the mask on the construction paper, we got to glue it onto the cardboard. we...
