WEEK #1
Art Lesson Plan for Grade 4
OVERVIEW & PURPOSE Hello 4th Grade! The Hingham Art Teachers have been working hard to give you fun and creative ways to review what you already know about visual art. We understand that different families have different resources at home (so do I!) so you will have choices. These next few days 4th grade students are working on color. All the art teachers miss you a lot, and will see you soon! If you have questions, please ask your parents to email me. I am the art teacher at Foster, Mrs. McKeon [email protected] OBJECTIVES This week’s art creation should be simple, quick, and hopefully fun, Since there are only 3 days left in this week, and you will have other tasks to accomplish. Art Review: COLOR!
Art At Home Choice 1: Create two Photos with Colors/Objects you Like; in each photo change the way the objects/colors look by changing the light. MATERIALS
ACTIVITY After watching the video you are going on a “single color scavenger hunt” Choose a color, red, for example. Find a few objects in your house that are that color. Shoes, a shirt, something from the kitchen drawer - any object is fine if your parents say that it is ok to use. Arrange the objects in a way that you like. Artists enjoy trying to arrange objects in different ways. Have two different light sources. By the window, you have an outdoor light source. You can use a flashlight, or lamplight as a source. Wonder: how will this change when the sun goes down? Experiment; how much can you change the color by changing only the light? Take two photographs of your work. Think about how the light changes the value and intensity of the colors. How does this change the feeling of the photograph? I hope that your objects are more exciting than mine! I can’t wait to see your photos! Make sure to put away the objects. Examples of differently lit red objects. |
Art At Home Choice 2: Create a color wheel with objects that you find inside/outside your house.
MATERIALS
ACTIVITY 2 After watching the video about color you are going on a color wheel scavenger hunt. Use the linked color wheel, or the examples, to help you arrange your colors in an organized way. Try to find either SATURATED (really bright) colors or UNSATURATED (pastels/light) colors. It is easiest to begin with the Primary Colors (red, yellow and blue) then fill in the secondary colors (remember, red and yellow make orange, so orange goes between them…) Wonder: Which wheel below is most saturated? Least saturated with color? Have fun with this, take a photograph of your found object color wheel. I can’t wait to see what you do with this! - Mrs. McKeon |
