Description: During Mrs. Preszler's 50 minute elementary art lesson, we learned how to draw upside down, made glasses, and refreshed on our warm and cool colors. For our pre assessment, she gave us a sheet where we practiced upside drawing. Then she modeled for us how to make the red glasses that we used to look at our final projects. We then picked a picture that we wanted to draw to scale on the paper upside down with light blue, which is a cool color. We had to remember to draw the picture lightly. We then drew over the drawing with a pattern made up of warm colors, red, orange, and yellow. We then could look through our glasses and see the picture that we had drawn with our light blue. The glasses drew out the warm colors and we were able to see the cool color. We then put our drawing on a piece of paper with three facts about that animal. This way, when it is on display, the facts can help the people guess the animal before they use the glasses.
Extension Activity: For an extension activity, I would have the students write a short story about their safari animal they drew. They would have to be specific and use lots of adjectives. I would make sure they incorporated some of the elements of principle and design, like, rhythm, movement, pattern, color, value, etc. This writing would get the kids really engaged and excited about what they are writing about. I would be sure to tell them to make sure they also write about what they can see, smell, hear, touch, and feel, it's important to include the five senses. When they are done writing their story, they would share it with the class.
