Objectives: | Students will be able to identify Gustav Klimt as the painter of the "Portrait of Adel" apply the principle of pattern to a portrait use either a warm, or cool color palette as the dominant color scheme |
Materials: | Posters of "Portrait of Adel" markers crayons paint paper scissors glue |
Introduction: | what are some animals that you can think of that are able to camouflage themselves with their environment? There is a painter who does this with this portraitof "ADEL" painting. |
Development: | How does he make her dress blend with the background? Colors? Shapes? Gather students to demo table, background pattern, make grid with pencil, draw in each box create a person to match background pattern have them 'popped out' from the surface by cutting the paper 2 times in the center and pulling the paper foward glue paper cut out person to the chair made by the cut paper |
Practice: | give students background paper, 8x8" pencil begin background grid markers, draw a repeated set of lines or symbols, may borrow from Klimt poster seperate paper 3x6" draw person with matching pattern to background fold and cut paper on the fold to create a platform for the figure glue figure to seat complete |
Accommodations: | assist or make an example for everyone as they draw with me, walk around and assist as needed pre-draw figure for those who have much dificulty |
Checking For Understanding: | walk around the room to observe progress product of student work |
Closure: | Did you complete all of the steps of the project? what was the goal of this picture? to create a figure in a camouflaged environment. |
Evaluation: | I believe the students attention is more involved whan they work on a smaller scale, to complete the image in one day, rather than the original 3 day plan. |
Teacher Reflections: | working with pattern over a series of weeks has reinforced student's awareness of patterns in their environment. The kids have the tool of pattern as design well developed and ready to apply to any composition. |
