What else do you remember?





The ABC of Architects from fedelpeye on Vimeo.

Lesson 22 Cave Painting

Another traditional art lesson for 1st and 2nd grade.

Charcoal technique and animal drawing.

Lesson 21 Torn Paper Landscape

A traditional lesson for a 1st or 2nd grade art class.

Lesson 20 Arch as Structure

Sketch = Draw any arch.  It can even be a picture of two people making an arch with their arms.
Information = two students demonstrate the structure of an arch with their arms, pushing against each other's hands.  They report how it changes when their feet are farther apart or closer together.

Create = Make an arch with tagboard, figure out how to keep it from spreading out flat when weight is set on top.  Paint it and the base to make it look nice and to give information about the place you imagine it to be.

Lesson 19 Color the Arch

Sketch = Draw the arch shape
Practice = Outline the arch shape with marker, use chalk pastel to add a thin layer of color to the background, leaving the arch white.
Create = Do the same color process on the big arch drawing from last time.  Outline with marker, and then use the chalk pastels to add color to the background.  Leave the arch white.

Lesson 18 Arch

Sketch: Draw the Marble Arch. It is in London.

Marble Arch was designed in 1827 by John Nash as the triumphal gateway toBuckingham Palace. In 1851 the arch was moved to its current site at the northeast corner of Hyde Park. 

John Nash based his design on one of these ancient Roman Designs.

Which one do you think it was?

Coliseum 

Arch of Titus 

Arch of Constantine 

Roman Aqueduct 

When the Marble Arch was built, special permission was needed to be able to walk through it to the palace.  Now that it has been moved to Hyde Park, anyone can walk through it.  It is a gateway from one neighborhood to another.

Create a drawing of an arched gateway.

What is the place that is through the gateway?

What are the details that will give clues about why the place on the other side of the gateway is special?

Lesson 17 Respond and Refine

Sketch Stonehenge. What do you remember about it? Information Time: Who chose to draw from the photo? who chose to draw what they imagine it looked like when it was new? Who chose to draw what they imagine it will look like in the future? Who chose to draw Stonehenge in plan view? Last time we built creations using geometric forms. We drew them, We included a diagram to show the parts that make the whole. The next step in the creative process is called "Respond and Refine" What can I do to make my drawing better? What can you do to make your drawing better?

Lesson 16 Geometric Forms: stacking

Sketch time:

   Step 1: diagonal up, diagonal down

   Step 2: diagonal down, diagonal up

   Step 3: vertical, vertical, vertical.

   Step 4: diagonal down, diagonal up

   Step 5: draw more cubes. 

Information time: Stonehenge

 

Practice time:

   Stack at least 3 geometric forms.  Draw them.  Stack the same forms a different way.  Draw them.

Create time:

   Choose 3-6 geometric forms.  

   Draw those shapes across the top of your paper.

   Stack the geometric forms many different ways.

   Use colored pencils to draw the stack of forms.

   Add people and a site to your drawing.

Clean up time:

   Return the geometric forms.

   Turn in the drawing with your first name, last initial, and homeroom symbol on the back.

   Return the colored pencils.

   Take your sketch and practice drawings home with you.

Lesson 15 Geometric Forms

Sketch time:

   Step 1:  oval

   Step 2: straight lines

   Step 3: curved line.  Now you have drawn a cylinder.

   Step 4: choose another form to draw

   Step 5: choose another form to draw

Create time:

   Cut and fold the photocopy to create at least two forms

   Connect them to create a complex form.

   Use colored pencils to draw the complex form(s)

Lesson 14 Castle Model: smaller=stronger

Work with the material, not against it.  

Refine and improve your design from last time.

You have the option of having today's work photographed for the website.

Lesson 13 Castle Model

Turtle Lake Student Castles

What are important parts of a castle?

Roll paper to make cylinders.

Press corners into your cylinder if you want it to be a prism instead.

Fold a paper to make a site.

Add details.

Castle Xplorer has great pictures of many Castles in England, Wales, and Scotland.

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".
