Triptych - The Meaning of 3 of Us in One Element and More

The Triptych

Students need to work together towards one tell,

one element of unity, and 3 in one composition.

So the viewer looks from one panel to the next,

in order to come to terms with how the art speaks to them and

how they can appreciate three different artworks in one composition.

The colors of the three pieces of art keep the artwork interesting.

Students can alter the colors and transition within each of the pieces

during the making of the art

This way students are to:

Use an overhead projector, to outline the contour of their head/face (Siluet)

over poster papers (420mm x 297mm.)

Students write about their likes, challenges, happiness, or own events.

What makes one unique and amazing.

Looking closer at the story they choose meaningful colors

To then use the elements as lines or shapes permitting the expression of feelings

or meanings.

Students make connections using color, lines, shapes, and repetition to help and

unified the design.

Making connections create a way, and direction beginning and

ending of their story.

A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm up activity that will be suitable to every grade every student

Of course, with the exception of those students owning already have a heart for the arts. However, all those feelings are just based on unawareness, previous poor teaching, and very little or no exposure to the world of creativity and visual expression, the plastic (moldable) arts. In any different way in which my students arrive, quiet, loud, timid, short or tall, fast thinkers or slow takers, I welcome them all with the magic of the free line and colors; with the free form given by one energy and impulses. Activity: The Line of Thought Organize your space in a way students have a good free space in between each other. They...

A Look at My Students Notes

A Look at my student's Notes This is a place where students pause, to attend, to perceive, and to explore. I used to grade with great care my student's notes. They let me see their presence, they showed they had discovered a new world a new way. Students already following a dream. They were not passive learners anymore, they open to the world thousand of possibilities were given consideration and more. A behavioral neuroscience study conducted by researchers at the University of California and Princeton University published in 2014 showed that students who take notes write thoughts, and sketch ideas by hand perform better with conceptual questions, and increased problem-solving, than other people who don’t record notes or sketch ideas. According to the study, one explanation for this exciting discovery is that writing, drawing, doodle with pencil and paper allows people to summarize...

Digital Imagery - Color and Form (Using Photoshop Suit)

Digital Imagery With the help of Digital Cameras and Photoshop Suit, my students create great art pieces, demonstrating excellent use of the program and using to the max the photos taken with a very regular camera. We are looking at: Direccion Depth Repetition Contrast Form Color Use of the Space Students are to be aware and understand: Pixels (pictures elements) Color Gradation RGB Dimensions (expressed by pixels) Resolution (PPI - Printing good) Students study and applied depth - perceiving these depths through shapes in order to keep viewers vision active. Seeing means grasping some outstanding features of objects, like; the color of the sky, the curve of the long tree, the rectangularity of the object to the right, and so on. Depth comes from the correct use of the Principals of Art and Design. Through...
