FAVA 3.2 Produces art in each of the following art areas: drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and crafts.FAVA 3.5 Produces artworks in the areas of drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, pottery, crafts, fiber arts, and mixed media. FAVA 3.14 Describes how size, colors, lines, shapes, and textures are organized in artwork to create a focus or center of interest (emphasis). FAVA 3.16 Discusses the purposes and functions of art in today's world.

Ongoing Art Objectives: Develop construction (cutting, gluing,

manipulating, etc.), drawing, painting, etc., skills (Application, Synthesis; ongoing objective, see art matrix).

Demonstrates proper care and safe use of art materials and tools (Application Evaluation; ongoing objective; 3.6).

Appraise/Evaluate artwork for quality (thoughtfulness & carefulness) and accuracy (following directions & project guidelines) (ongoing).

Project Specific Objectives:1. Create a Kufi, an African hat (Synthesis;

3.2, 3.5).2. Create/arrange/organize a pattern using

lines, shapes, and intermediate colors (Synthesis; 3.14).

3. Integrate the continent of Africa into the Kufi pattern, creating a center of interest (focus, emphasis) (Synthesis; 3.14).

4. Discuss the purposes and functions of art and hats in today's world (Comprehension; 3.16).

The students are asked to observe and make comments about two designs; one with a center of interest and one without a center of interest.

The teacher will give step by step instructions (guided practice) for the students to follow as they draw the center of interest (the continent of Africa) and their pattern.

Suggested questions regarding the two designs

1. What do you notice about the two designs?

2. Are the two designs the same or different?

3. How are they different?4. What do you notice first

about design “A” (the design with the center of interest)?

5. Where is the center of interest?

Low:A simplified…”connect the dots” African continent for the student to complete. All students will practice drawing the African continent using the letters “C”, “U” and “V”. Teacher and peer help and table partner assistance (cooperative groups). Homework: only identify and label three countries in Africa.

Average: Teacher assistance and peer help. Homework: only identify and label six countries in Africa.

High: The student must complete the entire center of interest design. Homework: identify and label ten countries in Africa.

1. Worksheets, tests, and practice sessions on the color wheel and the intermediate colors as well as center of interest worksheets.

2. The culminating activity: the African hat, the kufi.

3. Observation.

A review of the current lesson (what they should be able to do and what they are to know) is shared as well as what will be taught the next time in art…

We have completed an intermediate color landscape, now we will use those intermediate colors to create a pattern on our African hat, the kufi.
