Day 15: Final Project
Goal:
- Students will create artwork (paintings or collages, etc) based on their knowledge of line, shape, color, words and emotion.
Process:
- Put out the students’ exercises addressing line, shape, color, and words.
- Have them review their work.
- How can they best use this knowledge to create a piece of art that expresses how they feel about safety in school? Which of the exercises did they find the most interesting? What elements do they want to include from them? Do they want to make a collage, a painting, or something else entirely? Do they want to include words? What types of images will they use? Will it be abstract shapes or realistic imagery?
- What will be their subject matter? Have them write how they feel about this issue after all the discussions and exercises they have done. What is most important to them? What do they want to say about it?
- Have them write a list of the elements they want to incorporate in their final project. What materials will they use to convey their ideas?
- Have the students answer some of these questions in their sketchbooks or on a piece of paper. Have them make a sketch of what they want to make.
- Assist the students in creating their final project. Encourage the students to branch out and think outside the box to create something not yet discussed in class.
