1 Lesson Plan Information Grade: 1, 3, 3 LESSON PLAN FLOWER VASE / PLANT POTTER CLAY SCULPTING Subject: Arts (Visual Arts), Science and Technology (Understanding structures and mechanisms) Topic Grade 1: Materials, objects, and everyday structures Topic Grade 2: Strong and stable structures Duration: 2 hours Lesson Plan Overview and Objectives Students will design and build a flower vase based on their understanding of structures and mechanisms using clay. They will discover how structures and mechanisms are connected, and how structures and mechanisms influence the final design. Students will learn basic clay techniques and how they can be used to build their vessels. Through their vases, they will demonstrate an understanding of elements and principles of design. Grade 1 students will decorate and paint their vases using contrast: light/dark slips, large/small drawings on them, pure/mixed colour. Grade 2 students will decorate and paint their vases using repetition and rhythm: repeating colours and shapes found in everyday objects as well as in art. AT QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL CENTRE Flower Vase Clay Sculpting inspired by Pablo Picasso Materials Clay, wire, ware boards, rolling pins, clay modeling tools, slip dishes, canvas cloth, plastic bags, glazes, brushes Introduction Explore and discuss clay vessels throughout time, as well as their purposes. Inspiration Next, explore flower vases and plant potters using elements and principles of design. Show examples ranging from Ancient Greece to modern artists such as Pablo Picasso. Discuss the work you see: style, clay used, glazing, burnishing, painting, decorations, etc. Discuss the purpose of a flower vase. Personal approaches and reflections. Guiding questions - What do we use vases for? (function) - What can they be made of? - What kinds of lines or shapes can you find from the structure? - What can you put in a vase? Page 1 of 5

2 - What makes the structure a good or special vessel? Does it depend on shape, size, uniqueness or variety of decoration? Art terms to be covered - Elements of design - Principles of design (contrast) - Design (composition) - Dimension - Geometric shape Demonstration Activity Clay terms can be covered: drying stages (plastic, leather hard, bone dry), building techniques (pinch pot, coil, slab built, relief), greenware, bisque, kiln, firing, scoring, clay slip, glaze. Planning Idea Sketch (Optional) Students will create an idea sketch of a planter. The instructor will show them images of historical and contemporary planters by various artists and craftspeople. What kind of vessels or planters do they want to design? When designing, ask students to think about the purpose of their structures and how this will influence design and materials. Play By playing with clay, children learn what it can and cannot do. Children will touch, roll and form the clay. This will help them develop ideas and skills for when they begin their flower vase. Children receive a small lump of clay to find out about it. They should poke, pull, roll and make marks on it. They should pinch, attach more clay and add texture. The instructor shows clay shapes and forms (previously made) and shows the group how to make the forms. They experiment with making them. The group will sit in a circle and let the children follow simple instructions: make it into a round ball, make a finger hole in it, make a pattern over it with your fingernail, pull a piece off, roll it into a ball and attach it again. Children will start to see the clay as a 3D form that needs to be looked at from every angle. Demonstration by the clay instructor The clay instructor will explain the characteristics of clay, and how it can be used to build a structure. The instructor will demonstrate clay techniques (coiling, pinch pot, and slab) and discuss adding clay to their pieces using scratching or scoring and adding slip. Building Based on the instruction and demonstration, students will make their vessel structures based on their idea sketches, lesson, or inspirational images. Page 2 of 5

3 Ceramic Process and Terminology greenware bisque ware (one firing, no slip glazed slip or glaze) FOR TEACHER BACK AT SCHOOL POST-VISIT ACTIVITIES Post-Visit Activity Artist reflection questions, drawing (optional) Materials Pencil, eraser, paper, crayon Artist Reflection Students describe the vases they have created. What is special about them? How has the understanding of the structure s mechanisms influenced the creation of their flower vase? What do they like best about their finished work and why? Drawing Still life with flowers The teacher brings in flowers, vases, fruit and bowls (or similar) and sets them on a table, making a still life display. Students draw the still life as they see it. They can add imaginative elements to it, like insects or bees. Resources A Greek Potter (Everyday Life Series) by Giovanni Caselli Pottery Place by Gail Gibbons Southwestern Pottery: Anasazi to Zuni by Allan Hayes and John Blom Picasso: A Dialogue with Ceramics: Ceramics from the Marina Picasso Collection by Kosme De Baranano Picasso Painter and Sculptor in Clay by Marilyn McCully FOR TEACHER REFERENCE ONLY ONTARIO CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS Cross Curricular and Integrated Learning Science and Technology Science and Technology (Understanding Structures and Mechanisms: Materials, objects and everyday structures) GRADE 3 Science and Technology (Understanding Structures and Mechanisms: Strong and stable structures) Découpage Bottle or Jar Flower Vase Page 3 of 5

4 Make a tissue paper vase by pasting small squares of tissue paper onto a clean bottle or jar. Paint a final coat of white glue over the jar and let dry. How is the glass different from the clay? Where do glass and clay come from? What happens to glass and clay when it is worn out or no longer needed? Are these materials recyclable? Curriculum Expectations The Arts Visual Arts D1.2 Demonstrate an understanding of composition using selected principles of design to create narrative art works or art works on a theme or topic. D1.3 Use elements of design in art works to communicate ideas, messages, and understandings. D1.4 Use a variety of materials, tools, and techniques to determine solutions to design challenges. D3.1 Identify and describe visual art forms that they see in their home, at school, in their community, and in visual arts experiences. D3.2 Demonstrate an awareness of a variety of art forms, styles, and traditions, and describe how they reflect the diverse cultures, times, and places. Science and Technology Understanding structures and mechanisms: Materials, objects, and everyday structures 1.2 Assess objects in their environment that are constructed for similar purposes in terms of the type of materials they are made from, the source of these materials, and what happens to these objects when they are worn out or no longer needed. 2.2 Investigate characteristics of various objects and structures, using their senses. 2.3 Investigate, through experimentation, the properties of various materials. 2.4 Use technological problem-solving skills and knowledge to design, build, and test a structure for a specific purpose. 3.1 Describe objects as things that are made of one or more materials. 3.2 Describe structures as supporting frameworks. 3.5 Identify the materials that make up objects and structures. 3.9 Identify the sources in nature of some common materials that are used in making structures. GRADE 3 Science and Technology Structures and mechanisms: Strong and stable structures 1.1. Assess effects of strong and stable structures on society and the environment. 2.2 Investigate, through experimentation, how various materials and construction techniques can be used to add strength to structures. Page 4 of 5

5 2.3 Investigate, through experimentation, the effects of pushing, pulling, and other forces on the shape and stability of simple structures. 2.4 Use technological problem-solving skills and knowledge acquired from previous investigations, to design and build a strong and stable structure that serves a purpose. 3.1 Define a structure as a supporting framework, with a definite size, shape, and purpose that holds a load. 3.3 Identify the strength of a structure as its ability to support a load. 3.4 Identify the stability of a structure as its ability to maintain balance and stay fixed in one spot. 3.6 Describe ways in which the strength of different materials can be altered. 3.8 Explain how strength and stability enable a structure to perform a specific function 3.9 Describe ways in which different forces can affect the shape, balance, or position of structures. Fundamental Concepts Elements of Design line: jagged, curved, broken, dashed, spiral, straight, wavy, zigzag lines; lines in art and everyday objects (natural and human-made) shape and form: geometric and organic shapes and forms of familiar objects (e.g., geometric: circles, blocks; organic: clouds, flowers) space: depiction of objects in the distance as smaller and closer to the top of the art paper; shapes and lines closer together or farther apart; horizon line; spaces through, inside, and around shapes or objects colour: mixing of primary colours (red, yellow, blue); identification of warm (e.g., red, orange) and cool (e.g., blue, green) colours texture: textures of familiar objects (e.g., fuzzy, prickly, bumpy, smooth); changes in texture; a pattern of lines to show texture (e.g., the texture of a snake s skin); transfer of texture (e.g., placing a piece of paper over a textured surface and then rubbing the paper with wax crayon) value: light, dark Principles of Design Contrast light/dark; large/small; pure/mixed colour GRADE 2 Elements of Design line: variety of line (thick, thin, dotted) shape and form: composite shapes; symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes and forms in both humanmade and natural world space: foreground, middle ground, and background to give illusion of depth colour: colour for expression and emotion; mixing colours with white to make tints texture: real versus visual or illusory texture; etching by scratching through surfaces value: mixing of range of light and dark colours Principles of Design repetition and rhythm: variations on major theme; strong contrasts (e.g., use of different lines, shapes, values, and colour) Page 5 of 5
