Prism Design - 10/22-10/26


Unit Lesson - Line
Prism Design



Lesson Objective: SWBAT name the seven lines of art, zigzag, horizontal, vertical, dotted, curved, dashed, diagonal. Students will also be able to incorporate those 7 types of lines into an original piece of art.

Essential Skill to be Mastered: To create an original piece of artwork using the seven lines of art to look like a prism.

I Can Statement: I can create a drawing of a prism using the 7 lines of art.

Teaching Strategy: Day 1 - I will begin by asking the students to look around the room and tell me what kind of lines they see in the classroom. After discussion students will watch a PowerPoint presentation about the different kinds of line. I will then show them an example of the finished product and explain the instructions. Before I model how to draw a prism I will give students and have them practice drawing different pictures using the seven different kinds of line. Day 2 - I will then model how to draw a prism as they follow along with me and then use guided practice to make sure they are using the correct kinds of line. They will take daily notes from that are written on the board and end with a quiz on Friday.

Vocabulary: 
Prism
Horizontal
Vertical
Diagonal
Curved
Dotted
Dashed
Zigzag

Materials:
9x12 Drawing paper
12x18 Drawing paper
Pencil
Ruler
Colored Pencils
Crayons

Instructions:
1. Using a 9x12 piece of drawing paper have the students draw the seven different kinds of lines in a repeating pattern, drawing each line 3 different times before moving on to the next line. Continue until the page is full.
2. For the prism, use the 12x18 drawing paper and put a dot somewhere not to close to the middle or the edge.
3. Using a ruler students will draw a line from one side of the paper to the other side making sure that the line crosses the dot. The dot will be the point of the prism that all lines will cross.
4. Draw a total of 7 lines across the paper making sure to move the ruler away about 2-3 inches from the previous line. When finished there should be a total of 14 pie shapes that each come to a point were the dot is.
5. In every other pie shape draw a design that represents one of the 7 types of lines. There will be a total of 7 designs, one different in each pie using all 7 types of lines.
6. In the rest of the alternating pie shapes color all 7 just one color.

Modifications: Extend time to finish. Give one on one help with line type designs.
