Students will be able t discuss elements and principles f design in their wn artwrk and Gergia O Keeffe s artwrk. 2. Students will be able t use scale and clr t explre abstract ideas thrugh art making. 3. Students will be able t identify the difference between cl and warm clr schemes. 4.

Adaptatins fr Diverse Learners: Think abut thse special students in yur class and hw yu will adapt yur instructin t meet their unique needs. What extra materials might be needed? What might have t be structured r explained differently? What might need mre time? Etc If a student is clr blind, emphasize the imprtance f shading and perhaps present ne in black and white. Mre time shuld nt be hard t grant t thse students that need it. Extra paper in case they make a mistake shuld be available. If the student has fine mtr skill prblems, a different way t apply the glue (like with a paintbrush) shuld be available as well. If a child has prblems with seeing r visin, they can mve clser t the pwerpint fr a better view f the pwerpint. VI.

Balance The distributin f visual weight in a wrk f art 8. Cntrast Cntrast between light values and dark values 9. Abstractin The simplificatin and ratinalizatin f an bject r subject matter
10. Line- Line is a mark made by a pinted tl brush, pencil, stick, pen, etc. and is ften defined as a mving dt. VII.

Since there are nly three, just pass ut supplies when ready t begin prject? Have reference pictures r actual r fake flwers set ut already. Have example prject ready Pencils passed ut. Step- by- step directins 1. Put yur name n the back f the paper. 2. Observe the flwer yu have chsen t abstract and find yur favrite part f it. 3. Keeping balance and scale in mind, draw that sectin f the flwer yu chse, making sure t tuch at all fur edges f the paper. Draw big! 4. Trace all f yu pencil lines with the black glue. Think abut hw thick r thin yu want yur lines t be. D yu want them t start thin and get thicker? Start thick and get thinner? 5. After letting yur picture dry cmpletely, take waterclrs (ne clr r mre?) and, starting at the fcal pint f yur piece, blck in clr in each sectin (marked ut by the black glue utline). Pay attentin t warm and cl clrs, clr value, and intensity. D yu want darker clrs t be at the fcal pint slwly getting lighter? D yu want them light slwly getting darker? Mre intense t less intense r vice versa? 6. When yu are dne, ask ne f the instructrs t spray fix yur drawing. 7.

What clrs in her paintings are warm and which are cl? Practice/explratin f ideas and media Display and discuss students wrk (critique) VII. Teaching Prcedure: Time alltment 9 t _9:30 A. Intrductin 1. Transitin frm previus perid 2. Mtivatin 3. Presentatin f cncepts/intrductry activities 9:30 t 9:45 B. Instructin/demnstratin 9:45 t 10:30 C. Wrk perid 1. Supply distributin 2. Task analysis f student- teacher interactin 3. Clean- up prcedures 10:30 t 10:40
D. Clsure 10:40-11:00 1. Review f lessn 2. Sharing/critique f wrk X. Evaluatin: (questins and/r prcedures f addressing the fllwing): Keep the kids engaged The meeting f bjectives If there are issues with students behavirs, we shuld take care f them right away. The quality f wrk prduced Keep in mind what wrks and what didn t wrk XI. Crss- Curricular Discipline: Develp 5 related ideas t yur area f cncentratin 1. The students culd learn abut flwers in nature fr science class. 2. The students culd write a pem abut flwers fr English class. 3. The students culd learn abut gegraphy as they learn abut all the places Gergia O Keeffe lived. 4. The students culd learn mre abut where plants grw best, cmparing the desert f New Mexic and New Yrk r Wiscnsin. 5.
