In 1st grade, we read the book Tacky the Penguin and had a discussion on the importance of being original and different. The students discussed their own traits or interests that make them different and thought of how they could depict these qualities in their penguin drawing. Students, then learned about artist have drawn portraits in profile and the history of a profile view in art. With all this knowledge students drew a penguin in profile add their own unique details.

In conjunction with the second grade immigration unit, students learned about the Statue of Liberty. I introduced the designer, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and engineer/architect Gustave Eiffel. We talked about symbolism and how the Statue of Liberty symbolized freedom to Ellis Island immigrants. We played a game where students had to guess a book by it's symbol, try to guess the examples below! Students then filled out a worksheet to help them come up with an object and book that they felt symbolized them. Finally, they drew themselves with their symbols as the Statue of Liberty and created a cityscape background using printmaking techniques.

Students discovered what animal and star sign their birthdays are associated with and took a quiz to find out what animal best represents their personality. With all this knowledge students created or chose an animal to draw for their constellation. Students began by creating a background using a tint or shade of blue and a splatter technique to create stars. Next, students learned how to create a gradient scale and drew and shaded their constellation imagery. Finally, the students named their constellation, which you can see as the title of their piece on Artsonia as soon as the work is posted! To see more student work CLICK HERE! |
