01/28-01/30 - Texture Practice

Texture Practice

Lesson Objective: SWBAT understand that texture is how something feels or looks like it feels and how to create the look of texture on a 2D surface.

Essential Skill to be Mastered: How to create simulated texture.

I Can Statement: I can create the look of texture on paper.

Teaching Strategy:  I started a conversation about textures and some of the places they could be found. We watch a PowerPoint showing different textures and how when there are many objects (like pebbles) together it creates a texture while each individual pebble has its own texture. I then asked them to get up and walk around the room to feel and find different textures. We then discussed objects that looked like they had a rough texture but were indeed smooth. After discussion I showed them an example of the practice texture they were going to create and modeled how to do it. 

Vocabulary:

Texture

Simulate

Tactile

Materials:

9x12 Drawing paper

Pencil

Instructions:

1. Fold paper in half.

2. Fold in half again.

3. Fold in half one more time and unfold to show 8 different sections.

4. Draw a line across each fold line in order to see each section.

5. Fill each section with a different texture pattern.

6. There should be 8 different patterns.
