Investigation 6 Take Ten

Step 1. Art galleryWhat is art?Students discuss and learn about art and art galleries. Collect a variety of suitable art materials.

Before starting, collect a variety of materials in enough numbers for students to use 10 of the same in their composition. Materials should be many and varied (see Fig 6.1).

A digital camera is also important, as it will be required to record any temporary creations, such as an arrangement of counters, blocks or sand moulds in the sand pit.

Discuss and identify prior knowledge and experiences of types of artwork, art galleries and exhibitions. If possible, arrange a visit to a local art gallery in your area, or invite guest artists to visit your school.

Elements of artIntroduce and talk about the elements of art: line, shape, size, colour and texture.

Read art books, such as Once Upon a Picture by Sally Swain and The Art Book for Children (Phaidon Press), and bring in examples of artwork – paintings, sculpture, collage, photo art, ceramics etc.

Use Edward De Bono’s Red Hat strategy to explore and identify the feelings we experience as we interact with art and its various elements, for example colour – soft blues are calming and peaceful.

You are invited to take part in the Take Ten art exhibition*. Take any 10 items that are the same in some way and either arrange them into a pattern or join them together to create something fantastic, new, and created uniquely by you!

* This Investigation shows how the number 10 can be investigated; however this can easily be modified. For example instead of Take Ten, you may choose to do Take Six or Take Twelve.

Let’s get started

Ý Pre-cut shapes – use a variety of materials, such as coloured paper, wrapping paper, newsprint, fabric and cellophane. Cut common shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, long strips, circles and diamonds. Vary size and colour.

ÝÛÛNatural materials – seeds, shells, leaves, beans, feathers

ÝÛ Recycled materials – bottle tops, buttons, tissue boxes, ceramic tiles, plastic lids

ÝÛÛCommercially produced materials – Multilink cubes, counters, pre-cut foam shapes, pattern blocks, plastic animals, stickers, stamps, small bean bags, animal stencils, magnetic shapes, beads

ÝÛÛHandmade – painting/drawing materials, handprints, modelling clay shapes, vegetable prints, clay

ÝÛ Food and related products – pasta shapes, bendy straws, pop sticks, patty cake cups

ÝÛ Computer art programs – Tux Paint, KidPix, MS Paint

ÝÛÛJoining materials – glue, sticky tape, string, pipe cleaners, masking tape, Blu-Tack

Focus questions

* What colours can you see?

* Why do you think the artist chose those colours?

* How do they make you feel?

* What shapes can you see?

* What lines can you see?

* How do you think it would feel if you touched it?

Investigation 6 Take Ten

Step 2. Mystery artExploring lineStudents explore line using whole-body movements.

Begin developing the awareness of line with whole-body movement activities. Ask students to make lines with their bodies. For example: a straight line, a curved line, a zigzag line, a bumpy line, a swirly line.

Create linesStudents use a variety of concrete materials, paint and sand to create lines.

Use straws, pop sticks, pipe cleaners, blocks, counters, string and streamers. Also try finger painting, drawing lines in sand, using chalk on cement and rolling modelling clay into lines.

Now, move to fine motor activities. Tell action stories that use lines and ask students to draw the story (see Fig 6.2). For example:

“Let’s take a line for a walk. Draw a jet flying in a straight line across the sky. Now, it dives straight down, flies back up and zigzags down low. Next, it does a loop. Trace over the line with your finger and re-tell the jet story to a friend.”

Mystery line drawingStudents create pictures from a random set of straight and curved lines.

Start by drawing a variety of straight and curved lines on a large sheet. Discuss which lines are straight and which lines are curved. Choose students to add more curved or straight lines so that eventually, you can see a picture emerge. The beauty of this activity is that it can turn into anything. No one knows what it will be until you start adding a few more lines.

Divide the class into pairs. Each student draws a few straight and curved lines on a sheet and passes it to their partner, who turns it into a picture (see Fig 6.3). Discuss the results.

Drawing to musicStudents create a storm picture as they listen to a song.

Play It’s iMaths Time CD, Track 21: Thunder, lightning, wind and rain. Have students listen and draw in the air their movements reflecting lines suggested in the song.

Provide students with large sheets of paper and a variety of drawing tools, such as crayons and pastels. Replay the song as students create their storm scene. Display these to start your class art gallery.

Investigation 6 Take Ten

Step 3. Abstract artExplore 2D shapesBrainstorm, search for, make and discuss shapes.

Brainstorm and talk about shapes that students know, such as triangles, squares, rectangles and circles.

Describe each shape, talking about its features – sides, corners, and straight or curved lines. Students then have a go at making shapes in groups using their bodies. For example: have 4 students position themselves to make a square.

Play It’s iMaths Time CD, Track 20: What shapes do you see?

Do a shape search both in the classroom and outdoors.

Provide plenty of unstructured playtime, in which students can create and explore a variety of materials relating to shape, such as model construction kits, blocks, magnetic kits and folding geometric shapes. Also, use objects such as pipe cleaners, craft wire, straws, pop sticks and strips of paper to make various 2D shapes.

2D shape sortStudents sort 2D shapes according to various attributes.

Prepare cut-out paper 2D rectangles and squares in various colours and sizes. Place them on a large white sheet and ask students to help sort them by colour, size and shape.

Abstract art compositionStudents create a shape art composition using 2D shapes.

Show students how to arrange or organise all the shapes to produce an abstract composition that is interesting and pleasing to the eye. Paste it on to a white or coloured background sheet.

Explain that there are no rules when it comes to abstract art. Shapes may overlap. The resulting picture may not necessarily reflect real objects. It must be pleasing to the individual who creates it.

If possible, provide examples of art containing geometrical shapes, such as Theo van Doesburg’s The Cow (1917), to observe, describe and discuss.

Next, ask students to choose from buckets of pre-cut coloured 2D paper shapes of various sizes and have a go at creating their own abstract composition. Discuss the end results and add captions to each. These can be photographed for discussion and assessment purposes.

Focus questions

* What is the same about these shapes?

* What is different about these shapes?

Focus questions

* Tell us about your picture.

* What shapes did you use?

* How are they the same?

* How are they different?

* How many shapes did you use altogether?

* What makes your art interesting?

* What would happen if all of your shapes were exactly the same size, shape and colour?

Investigation 6 Take Ten

Step 4. The art of ten

Explain to the class that they will be creating their own class exhibition displaying their works of art, which can be viewed by parents and special guests, such as the principal or other classes.

Ensure they understand that their artwork could take many forms, such as collages, photos and 3D models, but they must all have one common theme: Take Ten.

Play It’s iMaths Time CD, Track 6: Ten green bottles and Track 7: Ten in the bed.

Partitioning to 10Students explore a variety of ways to show 10 using concrete materials.

Organise sheets of paper and containers of concrete materials such as counters, pop sticks, cut-out shapes (eg hearts, flowers) and buttons.

Sit students in a circle and choose one to count out 10 hearts and scatter them on the piece of card.

There are lots of different ways to show 10. Choose students to arrange the 10 hearts in different ways. Write numbers to match groups as students talk about their arrangements (see Fig 6.4).

Please note: it is a good idea to reinforce the concept of conservation of number, for example 10 items, regardless of arrangement, will always total 10.

Follow up by giving pairs of students a variety of materials and sheets of paper to practice partitioning to 10. Take digital photos of different representations to talk about, label and display.

Art materialsBrainstorm a variety of materials that students can use to create their composition.

Use Edward De Bono’s Green Hat strategy to brainstorm a variety of uses for materials that students can use in creating their composition.

First, discuss and use everyday language to describe the properties of various objects, one at a time. Then, ask students for ideas for ways that the materials could be used as part of their artwork for the exhibition. Model some examples.

Investigation 6 Take Ten

Step 5. Let’s get creativeIndividual Take Ten artworkStudents create their Take Ten artworks.

It’s time for students to make their Take Ten artworks.

There are a number of ways to do this part of the Investigation. You may wish to experiment with a different medium each day, or set up a variety of stations and mediums around the room for students to explore.

Set up stations around the room for students to create their own works of art. Remind them to focus on arrangements using 10 objects. Ensure the digital camera is on hand to take photos of finished artwork where necessary.

Allow sufficient time to complete the task. You will require several sessions. Students should end up with a number of art creations in different mediums. Encourage them to experiment with different backgrounds, such as coloured or textured paper, paper plates, fabric, or newsprint.

Allow for student feedback and sharing as they go along. In particular, highlight clever ideas, creative use of 2D shapes and 3D objects, patterns, different ways of arranging and counting 10, and effective techniques for joining and gluing.

Set aside sufficient wall space and tables to display the completed designs. Ask students to help create captions/titles for their finished work.

Show and tell artworkStudents present and explain their Take Ten artwork features.

One at a time and over a number of sessions, students present and explain their finished artwork for the Take Ten exhibition. Students share features, such as attributes of the objects selected, use of 2D shapes and 3D objects, arrangements and patterns used, thought behind the composition and choice of background. Encourage the audience to give constructive feedback.
