Now that we have our new super cool Fugleflick
Elementary Musical which introduces the elements of art, I designed an exploration lesson that accompanies this video to help students really understand the concepts. I took pictures to show you below...
1) This exploration of the elements class began with our Fugleflick Elementary Musical to introduce the elements of art. View it here:
vimeo.com/384494782) Students looked at El Greco's painting, View of Toledo using the Google Art Project
googleartproject.com/museums/met/view-of-toldeo-271001They used the digital ink on the interactive board to draw over the image to show line, shape, form. They also zoomed in to spot texture, zoomed out to study value, space, and color.
3) Then students headed out to the courtyard with cameras in groups to take pictures of the elements all around them.
Extensions: Look at this
photo taken of Toledo. Spain or
this photo from similar vantage points. Compare
to the painting. What is different, and why? What is similar.
Now explore Toledo using Google Maps street view.
