How do artists and designers create works of art or design that effectively communicate? Concepts & Vocabulary: Creativity Criteria Critique Design Media Mixed media Monochromatic Principles of design Rhythm Technology Visual image Skill Examples: Use a variety of materials to create a three-dimensional mask showing a student's personality. Use torn paper scraps to create rhythm in a landscape. Plan a community/city; then, build a model of it with recyclable materials, such as cardboard, boxes, containers, and tubes. Collaborate with a group to demonstrate how to care for tools used in class (such as paintbrushes). After looking at Vincent van Gogh's painting, Bedroom, create a narrative painting depicting a memory of a student's personal bedroom. Use appropriate visual art vocabulary during the art-making process of two-and-three-dimensional artworks. Collaborate with others to create a work of art that addresses an interdisciplinary theme. Read and explore books like Imagine That by Joyce Raimondo or Dinner at Magritte's by Michael Garland and then create a Surrealistic style artwork. Recognize and identify choices that give meaning to a personal work of art. Create a drawing using monochromatic colors (paint, oil pastels, etc.). Explore individual creativity using a variety of media. Understand what effects different media can have in a work of art.
