It's time to move onto drama and music! See you in a few blocks!
In art we are using the Chromebooks to explore all sorts of optical illusions. Some we can even manipulate and change different elements of. You can follow along at www.michaelbach.de/ot . Some of these art tricks really fooled our eyes!! 26.B.2d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills to create works of visual art using problem solving, observing, designing, sketching and constructing.
In art we are learning about value. We practiced by doing some simple value scales using colored pencils. In each box we gradually shaded the box a lighter hue until we reached white. Once we finished that we began a value scale design using our hands to divide our paper into sections. Each section will display a small value scale. The results are amazing! 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.
While some students are finishing up their optical art paintings the rest of the class is reviewing line drawing techniques and applying these techniques to draw three dimensional forms. After everyone is done with their paintings our plan is to explore other types of optical art on the internet. There are tons of cool optical illusions and optical art pieces at this website http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ that we can manipulate and explore! 25.A.2d Visual Arts: Identify and describe the elements of 2- and 3-dimensional space, figure ground, value and form; the principles of rhythm, size, proportion and composition; and the expressive qualities of symbol and story.
