Lesson Topic and Description:
Students will explore how patterns are all around and part of their everyday life. Students will listen to the story "What can you do with a Paleta?" and discuss the tradition of Paletas. They will explore and “collect” patterns from around their house. They will then adapt these patterns, combining and editing them to create individual patterns that they will use to create unique popsicle flavors. Once they have created their flavors they will decide on descriptive names for their popsicle flavors. |
Lesson Topic and Description:
In this lesson students will study the portraits of the painter T.C. Cannon, examining what they see, what they notice. They will then be presented with the lesson, where they will create a black and white self-portrait from the neck up focusing on proportions. This self-portrait will be combined with a second work that they create, where they examine the view from their window, blocking out large shapes to create a flattened/slightly abstracted artwork. The self-portrait will be placed on top of this second work, creating a final artwork.
