Handi-wipes.Printmaking Artifacts for educational portion. Cardstock, canvas pencil cases, self adhesive foam shapes, rollers, brayers, paint, and Styrofoam trays, and paper plates.
Scissors and pencils.
This program requires tables or desks space for each student.

I CAN see the connection between math and art.
I CAN identify and name different shapes in art. I CAN divide a square into four parts and identify the subsequent shapes it creates, as well as use the terms quarter or fourth. I CAN recognize and create symmetry in my artwork. I CAN recognize radial symmetry. I CAN put shapes together to form new shapes. I CAN describe a traditional additive relief block printmaking process. I CAN keep my work area clean. I CAN follow instructions.
Who knew that math could be so fun? In fact, art and math have gone hand and hand for hundreds of years"”from the birth of perspective in the Renaissance to modern Op Art and beyond! Not only will we learn about basic concepts of geometry and math, but we will also dive into the exciting world of printmaking! Students will personalize canvas pencil cases using their own handmade symetrical geometric relief prints. They will also touch and hold a variety of printmaking tools during a brief Art History Lesson. This exciting new class from the Lutz museum will be sure to have your students thinking of math in a whole new way.

This program is for all levels and will emphasize the math standards specific to each grade level. Symmetry is taught to all grade levels as well as building confidence with a new skill set. Students of all age love this program!
Fall Bookings Strongly Encouraged!
We cannot book programs in from January 15-March 10th this year.
Thursdays Only Available in September, October, December, May and June.

This hands-on art program uses fabric paint. Please dress for a mess and plan accordingly.
2 or 3 Teachers/caregivers could have the opportunity to help hand out supplies and assist students as needed.

Grade K

Grade K: Mathematics: Geometry: Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, comes, cylinders, and spheres). Cluster #2: Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
Grade K: Mathematics: Geometry: Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes Cluster #6: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?"
Grade K: Visual Arts: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.: 2.(a) Identify safe and non-toxic art materials, tools, and equipment.
Grade K: Visual Arts: Creating: Anchor Standard 3: Refine and complete artistic work: 1. Explain the process of making art while creating.

Grade 1

Grade 1: Mathematics: Geometry: Reason with shapes and their attributes Cluster #1: Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
Grade 1: Mathematics: Geometry: Reason with shapes and their attributes Cluster #3: Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
Grade 1: Visual Arts: Responding: Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work.: 2. Compare images that represent the same subject.
Grade 1: Visual Arts: Connecting: Anchor Standard 11: Relate artistic ideas and works with societal, cultural, and historical context to deepen understanding.: 1. Understand that people from different places and times have made art for a variety of reasons.

Grade 2

Grade 2: Mathematics: Geometry: Reason with shapes and their attributes Cluster #3: Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
Grade 2: Speaking and Listening Standards: Comprehension and Collaboration #2: Recount or describe key ideas or details from a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media.
Grade 2: Visual Arts: Connecting: Anchor Standard 11: Relate artistic ideas and works with societal, cultural, and historical context to deepen understanding.: 1. Compare and contrast cultural uses of artwork from different times and places.
Grade 2: Visual Arts: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. 3. Repurpose objects to make something new.

Grade 3

Grade 3: Mathematics: Geometry: Reason with shapes and their attributes Cluster #2: Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the area of each part as 1/4 of the area of the shape.
Grade 3: Speaking and Listening Standards: Comprehension and Collaboration #3: Ask and answer questions about information from a speaker, offering appropriate elaboration and detail.
Grade 3: Visual Arts: Responding: Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work: 1. Speculate about process an artist uses to create a work of art.
Grade 3: Visual Arts: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the safe and proficient use if materials, tools, and equipment for a variety of artistic processes.

Grade 4

Grade 4: Mathematics: Geometry: Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles Cluster #2: Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
Grade 4: Mathematics: Geometry: Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles Cluster #3: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
Grade 4: Visual Arts: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. 2. When making works of art, utilize and care for materials, tools, and equipment in a manner that prevents danger to oneself and others.
Grade 4: Visual Arts: Responding: Anchor Standard 9: Apply criteria to evaluate artistic work. 1. Apply one set of criteria to evaluate more than one work of art.

Grade 5

Grade 5: Mathematics: Geometry: Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties Cluster #3: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
Grade 5: Visual Arts: Responding: Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work.: 1. Compare one"s own interpretation of a work of art with the interpretation of others.
Grade 5: Visual Arts: Creating: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. : 2. Demonstrate quality craftsmanship through care for and use of materials, tools, and equipment.
