|
Artistic/Occupational Influence: Portrait of Christopher Columbus from
late 1600s used as reference. |
Strategies (to meet needs of different learning styles): Students will
be encouraged to translate the portrait of Christopher Columbus into their
own interpretation, not merely to copy the original image. |
Activities (Step by Step):
Prior to this, students
should be taught the Classic Face portrait progress.
Students should be given a
12 x 18" piece of paper, pencil, crayons, and a copy of the portrait of
Christopher Columbus.
Students will be instructed
to create their own portrait of Christopher Columbus based on the image of
the painting.
Students will be encouraged
to add elements to make this a complete portrait--things which have a
connection with Columbus. |
Evaluation: Portraits will be judged on the basis of:
1. Did this look human
using appropriate proportions?
2. Is this reasonably
recognizable as Columbus? |
Follow-Up: Portrait skills will be used throughout the year when students
draw people. |

Follow-Up: This is basic information and we will use it on virtually every
project. |

students will then add individual elements (trees, fences, etc.) and then
decorate their home for trick or treating. These will then be colored
with crayons. |
Evaluation: The architectural drawing and the creativity/skill of the added
elements will be evaluated. |

|
Artistic/Occupational Influence: Mary Cassatt |
Strategies (to meet needs of different learning styles): SStudents
will watch an age-appropriate video on the life of Mary Cassatt as an
introduction to this important female Impressionist. |
Activities (Step by Step):
Students will be given an
introduction to Mary Cassatt via a video.
Students will then be given
a print of a Mary Cassatt painting which they will re-interpret as a
drawing.
This drawing will then be
painted using watercolor paints with the emphasis on matching colors and
choppy brushstrokes.
|
Evaluation: Students will be evaluated based on the effectiveness of
their re-creation. The goal will be to create something vaguely
recognizable as a Mary Cassatt-esque painting. |
Follow-Up: Portraits and paintings in later years. |

Artistic/Occupational Influence: Illustration |
Strategies (to meet needs of different learning styles):
Each student will be evaluated
based upon their age and individual artistic abilities. |
Activities (Step by Step): Students will have available to them pages from
Draw 50 Cats, Draw 50 Creepy Crawlies, and Draw 50 Sharks,
Whales, and other Sea Creatures These pages illustrate how to draw
creatures in a step-by-step manner. Using these pages, a 12 x 18"
piece of paper and a pencil, students should draw at least three animals
from the sheets and arrange them in a way to create a complete composition.
Other subject matter must be added to create a foreground, middleground, and
background. These other objects are only limited by the students'
creativity. If they wish, they may mix and match animals from one book
with animals from another, say a cat next to a picnic basket, with ants and
other bugs around. It would obviously be harder to mix and match sea
creatures with cats or insects, unless some level of surrealism is inserted.
When the pencil drawing is completed, it should be colored with either
colored pencils or crayons (crayons are recommended for lower grades).
If students seem to be finishing too quickly, make sure that they are
creating a COMPLETE scene, with adequate supporting objects. This
project should be fun and a little silliness is O.K., but students must
understand that I will expect them to be using the models illustrated on the
pages from the books for their drawings. They should not just make
things up. |
Evaluation: This will count as a project grade for grades 2-4, a quiz
grade for grades 5-7. Students will be evaluated on:
--accurate drawing of at least
three animals from the sheets provided.
--a detailed foreground,
middleground, and background which creates a sense of three dimensional
space around the animals.
--craftsmanship and effort
in both drawing and coloring.

story of the birth of Jesus through their drawings (pencil + crayon).
Encourage realistic figures, animals, and architectural/landscape elements. |
