21 Sequenced Instructional strategies: Students closely examine works of Jim Dine including all his different subject matters, use of color, value and texture. Students will have a choice of common objects to draw. Students will draw a simple outline of the object. Once the object is drawn the students can vary the value of the colors in both the subject and background by using different mediums and techniques. Use your black and white tools (pastels, pencils, paint) to enhance areas on your drawing where the value is darker or lighter. The Students will be given a frame that is the appropriate size for their art work. The students then can add their idea of abstract expressionism, splashes of colors, dots, lines and textures. Frames will need time to dry. Students will finish any last touches on their drawings. When the students are done, the drawing can be placed inside the finished frame.
