Fourth Grade Fine Art/Visual Art Standards

FAVA 4.2 Creates artworks using the following color theories (e.g., complementary and neutral). FAVA 4.4 Creates artworks using direct observation, lines (descriptive, directional, and expressive), shapes and space (positive and negative), spatial concepts (overlapping, placement, size, color, and detail), balance (symmetrical and asymmetrical), and contrast. FAVA 4.6 Produces artworks in a variety of subject matter and in the areas of drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, pottery, fiber arts, and mixed media. (See Introduction: Matrix.) FAVA 4.11 Identifies and discusses color schemes (e.g., complementary and neutrals). FAVA 4.19 Examines selected artworks based on questions related to art theories: Does the intent of the artwork seem to be to imitate? (Realism). Is the artwork primarily concerned with design or composition? (Structuralism/Formalism).

Please note that all objectives are not covered in one session.

Ongoing Art Objectives: Develop construction (cutting, gluing,

manipulating, etc.), drawing, painting, etc., skills (Application, Synthesis; ongoing objective, see art matrix).

Demonstrates proper care and safe use of art materials and tools (Application Evaluation; ongoing objective; 4.8).

Appraise/Evaluate artwork for quality (thoughtfulness & carefulness) and accuracy (following directions & project guidelines) (ongoing).

Project Specific Objectives:1. Create an African hat, a kufi

(4.6).2. Create three patterns using the

three basic complementary color pairs (4.4, 4.6, synthesis).

3. Identify the three basic complementary color pairs and determine why they are complementary colors (4.11 evaluation).

4. Integrate the three basic complementary color pairs into three patterns: regular, alternating, and random (4.2, 4.11, synthesis).

5. Create/label a color wheel.

The students are asked to observe and make comments about the complementary color patterns.

A review of the previous project regarding complementary colors is referred to and pointed out for the students to recognize and draw connections to the current lesson.

The teacher will give step by step instructions (guided practice) for the students to follow as they draw the three patterns. The students will follow the step by step instructions (guided practice) and then create their own patterns (one regular, one alternating and one random).

When the patterns are colored, they may choose to use one basic complementary color pair for the regular pattern, another for the alternating pattern, and the third pair for the random pattern.

HomeworkProjects:

Questions regarding the three patterns

1. What do you notice about the three patterns?

2. Are the three patterns the same or different?

3. How are they different?4. Why are the patterns colored

with those colors that you see?

Questions regarding the color wheel

1. What are the primary colors?2. Why are they the primary

colors?3. What are the secondary colors?4. Why are they the secondary

colors?5. What are the three basic

complementary color pairs?6. Why are they complementary

colors?

Low:A simplified…mostly completed pattern and color wheel for the student to complete. Peer and teacher assistance.

Average: A partially drawn pattern and color wheel for the student to complete. Peer and teacher assistance.

High: The student must complete the entire patterns and color wheel.

1. Worksheets, tests, and practice sessions on the color wheel and the complementary colors.

2. The culminating activity: Three patterns with the correct complementary color pairs for each pattern.

3. Observation.

A review of the current lesson (what they should be able to do and what they are to know) is shared as well as what will be taught the next time in art…

Connection from previous lesson: The complementary colors from the previous project will be applied to our next pattern project.
