Transformations: Metamorphosis Third Grade

 Third Grade Transformation: Metamorphosis

From our lesson last week we learned that transformation means to change the form, look or shape of something

In art, visual metamorphosis is the term we use to indicate shape-shifting in art. It allows the artist to transform the look of one object into a different object with a similar shape.If something changes from one form to a completely different form, we can call that change Metamorphosis. 

Today, we are going to draw an object, and transform it into an animal, or vice versa. 

You can create a series of drawings to show the transformation or metamorphosis of the object into an animal.

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.

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?

Mrs. Junge's Favorite Superhero Transformation

Picture from Transformers Rise of the Beasts

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?

Fibers Intro.-Third Grade

What is Fiber Art?

Fiber art is a type of art that is made from fibers such as yarn, string, or cloth to create art. 

You may be familiar with some forms of fibers such as sewing, quilting, crochet, and felting, because maybe you have a family member who enjoys creating using these methods.

(stuff below only a part of what will be included in video)

Fiber artist, Bisa Butler creates life sized portrait quilts, and spends up to 1000 hours creating them out of unique fabrics. 

Artist, Michael Brennand Wood creates using wood and fibers, often using floral themes 

He incorporates a lot of embroidery into his work.

Artist, Judith Scott created large sculptures out of yarn and other fibers. She was born with down syndrome and did not talk. Her art was her language, and her first sculpture was said to be her first words.

Drawing Studio-Observational Drawing-First Grade

   Drawing from Observation-Nature Up Close

Create

1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.

B. Investigation

Use observation and investigation in preparation for making a work of art.

Today we will learn to look carefully at flowers and leaves to discover the beautiful details in the natural world. This is called an observation drawing. In art, when you OBSERVE, you look very closely at something. 

During this week, you can look for other natural objects that you might like to observe closely and draw.

Have you ever looked at a flower up close?

What did you notice that you didn't see from far away?

Here is a painting from far away of a field of poppies

Here is a painting close up of a single poppy

Do you think this artist could paint this flower from memory? 

Or would the artist need to see the flower in real life?

This artist, Georgia O'Keefe would study flowers in real life so she could notice all the lines, shapes and colors.

Some artists like to observe nature from a distance, far away

Some artists like to observe nature up close

Which way do you like to observe nature?

What is a collage?

Create	1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.	A. Play & Ideation	Engage collaboratively in exploration and imaginative play with materials
		B. Investigation	Use observation and investigation in preparation for making a work of art.

A collage is made by cutting up, arranging, and gluing down materials such as paper, string, fabric, and newspaper. 

"Coller is a French word, that means to glue something together, so it makes sense that a collage is when you glue materials to a flat surface.

In collage you can use many different materials to make something new!

interesting papers, torn or cut

newspapers/ any text

magazine pictures

sheet music

yarn

stickers/stamps

buttons

fabric

You can also draw on your collage!

Materials needed:
White Paper for background
Colored Construction Paper 
Pencil
Scissors
Glue Stick
Crayons or Markers (optional)
