Detailed Description/Instructions: One way to review warm and cool colors and introduce neutral colors would be for students to sort themselves into the three color groups according to the color of their shirts. Students and teacher will have an opportunity to discuss where to group challenging colors such as pink, turquoise, or tan. Bloom’s Levels: Analyze Webb’s DOK: 2

One way to teach warm and cool colors is to create a 3D/2D Middle Eastern doorway. Students can first study the characteristics of Middle Eastern architecture, noting arches and domes. Have students explore doorways throughout the school, using IPads have students photograph doorways. Students then will compare and contrast their photos with Middle Eastern architecture. Students can cut a symmetrical door frame from clay or another 3D material and decorate it with 3D pieces and textures. They can trace the finished doorway on paper to create a shape to fit inside the frame, then draw Middle Eastern architecture inside. Students can color the 2D elements with warm or cool colors (including intermediate), then complete the 3D piece with the opposite color family. One way to complete the clay frame is to color with oil pastels and paint a black tempera wash over it. This could lead to the discussion of neutral colors, like black.

Detailed Description/Instructions: One way to introduce a discussion on perspectives is to compare and contrast two photos with different vantage points, such as a “bird’s eye” view and a “bug’s eye” view. Students can discuss how similar objects, like buildings, look different from the two perspectives. Have students research on IPads photos or artwork showing space and share with class.

Engaging Scenario

One way to practice creating the illusion of space is to create a cityscape. Students can study different types of architecture (such as Southwest adobe structures) and place a large building in the foreground, and medium sized building in the middle-ground, and a small building in the background near the horizon. The teacher should demonstrate how the buildings in front

can overlap the the buildings behind them to enhance the illusion. More details should be included on the buildings that are close than on the buildings that are far away.

One way to introduce a Western artist would be to make a still life in the style of Wayne Thiebaud. Students can study the Pop Art movement and learn about the artists involved. Students can make a 3D paper sculpture of an ice cream cone. When sculptures are complete, students can set them up in a still life at their table group and draw them from observation. Students can practice many of their previous skills, such as overlapping and color schemes.
