Why were castles built?
Why is the selection of the site important?
What forms, shapes and textures do you notice?
What materials do you notice?
How are British castles similar or different from castles in other parts of the world?

Which forms, shapes and textures will you choose for your castle?

On heavy paper, draw the oil pastel colors for your scratchboard.
When your oil pastel is done, it will be dipped in black paint to turn it into scratchboard.  Make sure your name is on it! It will go on the rack.  The black paint needs to dry before it can be scratched.

Is there time left? Start to plan your castle design.
Who is your client?  Why do they want a castle?
Decide on forms, shapes and textures for your castle.  It does not have to look like a British castle.

Draw your castle's elevation (view from outside, looking at the front).
Planning drawing stays here for next time along with scratchboard.

Sketch from beginning of class goes home.

Lesson 10 Skyscrapers, Footprints, and Gardens

Use Templates on the geometric side.  Do not use templates on the Organic side.





 

Now pick up a folded paper.  Can you make it tall like a skyscraper?
Can you change it so that it has a triangle footprint?  A square footprint?

 

Draw a footprint for your skyscraper.

Add streets, gardens, parks, or anything you like to create your site plan.

If you have time, add windows or other details to your skyscraper.
Do not use any glue today.  Your skyscraper needs to be able to flatten to fit in your take home folder.

Put in your big art take-home folder...

• Animal Footprint drawing

• Animal story, if you have one.

• Painting of a Garden Map

• Color Wheel

• Geometric and Organic Shape paper.

• Skyscraper

• Skyscraper Site Plan

• Note for parents

Lesson 9 Paint the Garden

What are the 3 Primary colors?

Draw Patterns in the large circles.
Use a different primary color for each circle.


Write the color words at the bottom of the paper underneath the words "Primary Colors"

Look at the marker for spelling help.

Check your work.
Did you use Red, Yellow and Blue?
It is OK if they are in different circles, as long as you only used the large circles so far.
If you made a mistake, redo your work on the back of the paper.

Find the Secondary Colors.
Color the small circles in secondary colors.




Check your work.
Is the green between yellow and blue?
Is the purple between red and blue?
Is the orange between red and yellow?
If you made a mistake, cross it out and make a new small circle next to the mistake circle.

The first step is to draw the lines of the Garden Plan

The next step is to Paint the Garden Plan

Lesson 8 Garden Plan

Imagine Flying over a garden.  What does it look like?

Does your garden have trees?
Water?
Bridges?
Decks?
Grass?
Vegetables?
Flowers?
Sand?

 

Does your garden have Geometric or Organic shapes?

These pictures are plan views.

Draw a Plan View of your Garden idea.
Use white and peach oil pastels on gray paper.
Next time we will add more colors with paint.
The paint will not stick to the oil pastel if it is thick enough.

Lesson 7 Foot Prints tell a story

Imagine a place your animal is going to visit.  Draw what you imagine.

written by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by W.W. Denslow

Did you Draw your animal in pencil?

 

Did you add footprints?

If you want to use marker, use it only for outlines or tiny shapes.

Use thick layers of crayon for filling in large areas.

Name and last initial and Homeroom on back. 

Take a new paper.

Tell a story with words or pictures or both. 

Where has your animal been?  Where is it going?

Name and last initial and homeroom on back of both.

Here is a video about the author L. Frank Baum and illustrator W.W. Denslow working together on "The Wizard of Oz".

Lesson 6 Floor plans

Today's lesson is about Foot Prints.

Animals have footprints, People have footprints, Buildings have footprints.

 


Sketch directions:
Draw one of the animals on your table.

Information time:
















Practice Time:
The teacher is going to draw footprints on the white board.  Position your feet to match the footprints.  How many different ways can you show what the footprints show?

Create Time:
Look at your animal from every different point of view.  Draw your animal again, and leave space for footprints in your picture.

Use markers to darken the lines of your drawing.

Use colored pencils to fill in areas of color.

Use ink pad to add footprints.


Clean up Time:
Put tools and supplies back where they belong.
Put your assignment picture on the rack.
Take your sketch home with you.
Wipe your table clean.
Sit down and be ready for review.

Review Time:
How are animal footprints like a building footprint?  How are they different?

Lesson 5 Models of Tall Buildings

Draw a landscape with a tall building.  How tall is it?




Here is a video of the top 10 tallest buildings in the world as of 2013:


Top 11 Tallest Buildings


Draw your plan for a tall building.  What shapes and forms will you use?

Try to make your model of a building beautiful and strong.

Which is stronger, a square or a triangle?

What will make your model look more interesting?

Tall buildings often become symbols of their city.
Imagine your building design as a symbol of your city.

The teacher will take a picture of your building.

After the photo you may have choice time.

Always put away what you are using before getting anything else.

  

For a 360 degree view from the top of The Shard London Bridge, click here.

To see more work by the architect Renzo Piano, click here.
 
Another famous building he helped to design is the Centre Pompidou Museum in Paris, France.
The architecture firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners also were part of that design.

Another list of the world's tallest buildings:

How Does The Shard Compare To Other Buildings?

At 309m tall, The Shard is the tallest building in Western Europe, but how does it compare to others around the world?

See our graphics on the height of the Shard - as it is dwarfed by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Lesson 4 A Space for a Family

Today's lesson is also in google presentation format.
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13OIxcH5FaOFqyWZpp-DMyLAhc1ZTpsiwA_RMkMRAJaQ/edit?usp=sharing

For today's lesson, choose which of the people in your life will be part of your family picture.  It can be just you and one other person you know, or all the people you live with, or all the people you live with plus all your relatives, or it can be people from school or daycare or your neighborhood.

For sketch time, draw yourself and those people.

by Jenaya3 (artsonia.com)

What do those people like to do?


Here is an artist who made a painting of a family doing the things they like to do.  His name is David P. Bradley and he is from Minnesota.  He is a member of the Blue Earth band of the Chippewa people.

Artist Bio

To be an artist from the Indian world carries with it certain responsibilities.. We have an opportunity to promote Indian truths and at the same time help dispel the myths and stereotypes that are projected upon us.. I consider myself an at-large representative and advocate of the Chippewa people and American Indians in general. It is a responsibility which I do not take lightly.

-David P. Bradley

On your new paper, draw your family doing the things they like to do.
 Can you all do the things you like in one place?
 Use markers.  Leave some parts of the paper white.

If there is time, we will use water and brushes to blend the marker color like paint.




Next time, we will look at buildings that are for really large groups of people.  Here is a preview:

Here is a video of the top 10 tallest buildings in the world as of 2013:


Top 11 Tallest Buildings

Burj Khalifa, Dubai (829.8 m)

Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة‎, "Khalifa tower"), known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 

Taipei 101 (509 m)

Taipei 101, formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building ranked officially as the world's tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010. In July 2011, the building was awarded LEED Platinum certification, the highest award in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system and became the tallest and largest green building in the world.

Lesson 3 Shape and Form

Sketch a building using the templates.  This will be a take-home picture.

Here is a video that shows the shapes of buildings by famous architects.


The ABC of Architects from fedelpeye on Vimeo.

Which shapes do you think would make an interesting building?  Use the templates to draw shapes.

Cut them out.
Put back your scissor.
Put scraps in scrap basket.

Arrange shapes on your paper.

Glue shapes to a background paper.
Use the smallest amount of glue possible for best results.
Wipe glue off the tip of the glue bottle.

What type of building does it look like to you?
Write the purpose of the building on the front.  It is OK to ask for help.

First name, last initial, and homeroom symbol on the back.
 It goes on the rack.

If your collage from last time is done, you have choice time until clean up time.
Hands and table need to be clean in order to have choice time.
Choices are books, free draw, or paper sculpture.
