Create a project while experimenting with different, mixed media techniques. Create artwork that adheres to the specific elements and chosen adjectives and descriptive phrases. Identify and describe elements of art (color, shape, line, feeling). Develop a wide range of adjectives and descriptive phrases. Vocabulary: mixed media, collage, adjectives, materials, descriptive, wax resist, color wash We recommend completing Language of Art Lesson Plan #2 before beginning this project. The collage will be constructed in stages to build up depth and illustrate, in layers, the chosen descriptive words. The children will create an artwork using mixed media to structure a collage. Language of Art Lesson Plan #3 – Who Are You? Use the words they have explored to create a work of art. Create their own list of adjectives and descriptive words. Use language arts to learn about descriptive words and their use to describe works of art. Vocabulary: descriptive phrase, work of art or artwork, color, shape, line, feeling The second will have children creating a drawing based on adjectives and descriptive words from a friend or fellow student. The first will teach children about adjectives and descriptive phrases to help describe the color, shape, line and mood within works of art. Language of Art Lesson Plan #2 – Descriptive Words and YouĪfter participating in a discussion about the Language of Art as a visual language and Language Arts as a written language, children will be involved in a two-part assignment. Draw out or sketch ideas from technical notes, dreams, or assignments. Create and implement, from a list of ideas, projects that are worked on outside the classroom. Use various media to create the cover design of the sketchbook. Describe and demonstrate the process of simple bookmaking. Create and assemble a sketchbook from assorted materials. Vocabulary: journal, sketchbook, stitching, inspire, explore, elements, elaborate, influence, mistakes This sketchbook should be put together with a personal touch. They can also be used as a communication between teacher and student. The finished product will allow the children to use these books as visual journals for sketching, writing poems, technical notes or any other art related information. It will introduce children to the basics of making a hand made book to record that language. This lesson touches on the concept of a language of art, the visual language.

Language of Art Lesson Plan #1 – How to make a Sketchbook Objective: Use the language of art to create a story with a clear sequence of beginning, middle and end, then employ the proper media to develop the concept and story line. Vocabulary: comic book, storytelling, emotions, sequence, language of art, media Children will create their own comic book, relating stories using pictures from current class subjects, or stories from their own experiences. But in this assignment, we’ll use only the visual language – just like Michelangelo did on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Stories are often told through the combination of visuals and words. Objective: Use visual elements to create symbols for words, then create symbols for multiple words to build sentences.Ĭreativity Builder #2 - Make a Comic Book Vocabulary: Language of Art, symbol, Egyptian, hieroglyphics, message, visual elements, media, figurative, abstract, composition Then they lay out and design these symbols into a final artwork. In this assignment, children create their own language, or “code” for common words, then build sentences. For example, Egyptian hieroglyphics use pictures, or symbols, instead of words. In some cultures, art is closely related to language. Through these historical figures children learn that failure is an essential part of the learning process on the way to finding their own individual style.Ĭreativity Builder #1 - Create Your Own Language
These artists shared a passion for art and innovation, as well as having very individual styles. Throughout Creativity Express, children learn to record their ideas and feelings using the language of art.Ĭhildren are introduced to Leonardo DaVinci, Michelangelo, Salvador Dali and Paul Gauguin. From cave paintings describing a successful hunt, to classical portraits and landscapes, to modern art and sculpture, all artists are conveying a story, a message or a feeling through the language of art. What is the Language of Art? Art is a universal way to communicate visually.
What is it? Why is it made? What does it mean? Who makes it? How do I understand it? Children begin by exploring the 'Language of Art'. The first two lessons of Creativity Express begin with the basic questions children ask about art.
