Transformations - Transformations in Nature Intro discussion - 3rd grade

 Transformations happen all around us!

Transformation means to change the form, look or shape of something

It is our job as artists to notice the transformations and record them through our art making.

Think of a tree. A tree goes through many transformations in one year. How can you show those changes in an artwork?

Describe this transformation

 

What about a transformation we experience every 24 hours? The changes from night time to day time!

What if YOU transformed yourself into a superhero?

What would your name be? Would you have any superpowers?

Why are they called Transformers?

What is your favorite?

Can you think of anymore transformations that happen in the world around us?

Somethings that go through transformations are weather, our feelings, the transition from night to day, and when we cook or bake our food. 

How could you show the changes in an artwork?

Who I Am - Focus on Faces (face map) - 2nd

New Unit: Who I Am

*Face Maps - map out the areas of the face to make placing the facial features easier to accomplish.
*What do I look like?
*My Favorite Things
*My Personality!

Lesson One: Focusing on Faces

Objectives:
Observe and discuss proportion in portraits 
Make a face map

Today we are going to make a face map so that we can practice placing the eyes, nose and mouth on the face. 

First, we begin with an oval for the face. Then we divide the face in half with a horizontal line. This helps us with eye placement.

Now, we will draw a vertical line down the center of the oval. 
This will help us make our faces symmetrical, or the same on each side. 

Third, we will draw a short line halfway between our  horizontal line and the bottom of the face. 
This will be where the bottom of the nose is placed.

Finally, we will draw a slightly longer line between the nose line in the chin for the mouth. 

Then you are ready to add your eyes, nose and mouth.
