-I can create a balanced composition by using overlapping geometric and organic shapes. I can distinguish between geometric and organic shapes and identify details in Jane O'Connor and Jessie Hartland's children's book Drawing with Scissors. I can create a collage using construction paper to demonstrate the Elements of Art and tell a narrative of what has shaped me. -I can express a personal narrative about what has shaped me and express my feelings through color, shapes, and symbols. -I can present my work and point out the colors and symbols used to express a feeling and personal narrative.
Day One Objective: Students will explore the world of artist Henri Matisse through the children's book "Drawing with Scissors" by Jane O'Connor and Jessie Hartland. They will study how Matisse used elements of art, such as shape, space, and color, in his paper cutouts to convey a message. The students will learn about geometric and organic shapes and use a shape that represents themselves as well as symbols that have shaped them, such as a song, book, movie, place, or something that has inspired them. They will then begin creating their own collage expressing their personal narrative of what has shaped them using the Elements of Art, using color and shape to convey a mood integrating SEL.
Day Two Objective: Students will create their collages using shapes, colors, and symbols to express their personal mood and identity and explain how their collages represent a variety of shapes, colors, and symbols to convey their narrative.
Day Three Objective: Students will continue working on their collages. They will briefly describe how their work expresses their individuality and present their finished piece to the class. They can discuss how the elements of art used in their artwork convey a narrative by pointing out the symbols and colors used to express their personal narrative and feelings.
