They will measure the lines and balance the number and spacing of vertical and horizontal lines. Assessment rubric, letter to parents, examples of artwork, and lesson plan included in PDF.

Content Standard(s):

Arts Education ARTS (2017) Grade: 1 Visual Arts	2) Explore and experiment with a range of art materials. a. Create two-dimensional art. Examples: Family portrait or gadget printing. b. Create three-dimensional art. Examples: Pinch pots or found-object sculptures. Unpacked Content Artistic Process: Creating Anchor Standards: Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Process Components: Investigate, Plan, Make Essential Questions: EU: Artists and designers shape artistic investigations, following or breaking with traditions in pursuit of creative artmaking goals. EQ: How does knowing the contexts, histories, and traditions of art forms help create works of art and design? Why do artists follow or break from established traditions? How do artists determine what resources and criteria are needed to formulate artistic investigations? Concepts & Vocabulary: Complementary colors Contrast Curator Elements of Art Texture Landscapes Portrait Positive/ negative space and shape Principles of design Repetition Variety Secondary colors Still life Technique Venue Skill Examples: Work with a partner or small group to create an artwork. Use the book Perfect Square by Michael Hall to help "thinking outside the box" skills. Create two-dimensional artworks using a variety of gadgets for printmaking. Use paint media to create paintings of family portraits or a favorite memory. Create three-dimensional artworks such as clay pinch pots or found-object sculptures. View a step-by-step demonstration of an artistic technique. Properly clean and store art materials. Use Mouse Paint book by Helen Walsh to teach color mixing of primary to achieve secondary colors. Create a painting inspired by Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie. Create a "Pop Art" inspired artwork of positive and negative spaces and shapes by using colored paper cut-outs and gluing to different background squares. Make a color wheel and identify the complimentary colors (red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple). Draw different forms in the school environment: cones in the gym, cubes in math center, and sphere used for a globe. Create texture rubbings by placing paper over different surfaces and rubbing with a crayon or oil pastel. Use a rough brick wall, a smooth table, bumpy bubble wrap, or soft felt shapes. Use repetition in art by looking at the designs on a shell or the stripes of a zebra for inspiration.
Arts Education ARTS (2017) Grade: 1 Visual Arts	3) Develop skills by following a sequence of steps to create works of art on subjects that are real or imaginary. Example: The teacher will model an artistic technique. Unpacked Content Artistic Process: Creating Anchor Standards: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. Process Components: Investigate, Plan, Make Essential Questions: EU: Artists and designers experiment with forms, structures, materials, concepts, media, and artmaking approaches. EQ: How do artists work? How do artists and designers determine whether a particular direction in their work is effective? How do artists and designers learn from trial and error?

Example: Show the students how to properly store the brush. Unpacked Content Artistic Process: Creating Anchor Standards: Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. Process Components: Investigate, Plan, Make Essential Questions: EU: Artists and designers balance experimentation and safety, freedom and responsibility while developing and creating artworks. EQ: How do artists and designers care for and maintain materials, tools, and equipment? Why is it important for safety and health to understand and follow correct procedures in handling materials, tools, and equipment? What responsibilities come with the freedom to create?
