Elements of Art
There are building tools to use to make art: Color, Line, Shape, Texture, Space and Form. 


Color

ROY is hot, G. BIV is not!  Red, Orange, and Yellow are warm colors and Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet are Cool colors.

Primary is a color family that includes red, yellow and blue. These colors make all other colors.

Secondary is a color family that includes orange, green and violet.



Line

The Straight line family includes math lines like horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. But also lines like zig-zag, toothed and crooked.

The Curved line family includes lines like arched, bumpy, wiggly, curly, squiggly, spiral, swirl, and dotted.

However, lines can be geometric and organic like shapes. Lines can also expressive, or showing emotions like bold, and playful.


Shape


The Geometric shape family includes the math shapes: square, circle, rectangle, oval, diamond (rumbis), and triangle.

The Free Form shape family includes shapes that are imaginary, without names, and might remind you of something.

The Organic shape family are shapes from nature- a leaf, or a flower. 



Texture


Texture is how something feels when you touch it or the way something looks like it feels.



Space

Positive Space, is the thing you are drawing. Negative Space, is the area around the thing you are drawing.

Background, Middle Ground and Foreground are used to make a picture look like it has depth, or goes back in space, while still being on a flat piece of paper.

The background is way in the back of your picture where things are small because they are 'far away.'
Middle ground is in the middle of the picture, where things are mid-sized and have a little more detail.
Foreground is very close to you, large, with lots of details.



Form

Form is 3 dimensional meaning wide and tall and deep. You can walk all the way around form.

Artwork that has form includes sculpture, pottery, architecture, and furniture.

Susie Rayos Marmon Environmental Products

Lesson Title:  Environmentalism Today
Enduring Ideas:
Rationale:
Sustainability and stewardship
It is important to make connections between visual arts and other disciplines. Art helps you express yourself in a way that very intimate and vulnerable. Art making is a powerful vehicle to address social justice and a way to sensitively explore a social justice issue through an art medium.
         

Main Lesson Goal/Objective:       
1 Students will: Invent an imaginary product that would solve an environmental issue (food, pollution, trash and consumerism) and make it out of clay from a sketch (ex: garbage eater)
2 Students will: Sketch their designs by hand
3 Students will: Create an advertisement for their product that
contains a picture, explains its purpose, how it works and why it is needed

The student will know: about different environmental issues such as pollution, trash, food production, and consumerism        
The student will be able to: demonstrate understanding of an environmental issue of importance to      them through design of an art product with clay





Arts Standard(s) Addressed:

Visual Arts
Color:     Students will use color choice in their advertisement and painting of environmental product.
Form:      Students will use form in making their 3D environmental products in clay
Space:     Students will use space in the creating of their 3D environmental products
Shape:     Students will use shape in the design and forming of the 3D environmental product
Line:        Students will use line in their sketch of their environmental product
Texture:  Students will use texture in the clay for their environmental product

Essential Questions:
How might we use art and design to promote a healthy environment and a sustainable world?

How do artists decide what to make their artwork about? What conditions, attitudes, and behaviors support creativity and innovative thinking? Etc.  See standards for more
