Motivation:

What kind of lines do you know of?

What shapes do you know of?

Look around the room, look at your shirts, the chairs, the floor. Can you findinvisible lines in the room? How about shapes?

As they call out what they see, praise those who find unusual or minute shapesand lines that no one noticed.

Draw the lines on the board, or ask the students to do it.

Then draw all the shapes on the board so everyone can see.

When there are enough samples on the board, name them.

Tell them the difference between organic and geometric shapes

Art Appreciation / Art History:

What patterns can you see in the pottery of our ancestors?

Show the patterns in pre-Hispanic pottery in the Philippines.

Break down the details for the class.So they used wavy lines, then straight lines, then a shape that looks like aleaf

What figures do you see that look similar to something from nature?

What shapes do they see? What does this shape look like? Does it remind youof something?

What do you think these patterns mean?

Which pattern do you like best? What shape is the most interesting for you?

Can you see these patterns in the utensils you use every day?

Share that our ancestors didnt differentiate art from everyday life. Art wasnt just apainting, or a sculpture. Art was found in their clothes, their weapons, their houses,utensils, even their skin!

So the pottery we are looking at is both useful and beautiful.

Activity: (Art Process)

Chose a shape for your vase.

When the students are ready, distribute the materials.

Older students get pencils and colored construction paper.

Younger students get pencils or markers, and colored construction paper.

Ask them to draw their vase as big as the paper.

Then draw 3 bands around the vase.

Older students are required to copy at least 5 shapes and lines based on thepre-Hispanic patterns theyve seen. Then they can create their own shapes andlines to form unique patterns.

Younger students are required to use 5 lines and shapes that they know (or seeon the board) and repeat them to make a pattern.

Once the sketches are finished, older students should ink their pencil lines with fine-tipped markers. Younger students trace their pencil marks with colored markers andcolor the shapes and vase with crayons.


3/3

Check their work for the correct number of lines and shapes.

For older students -check that the pencil lines are erased

For younger students make sure they use several colors and that they presson their crayons to create strong colors.

Remind them to write their names and the date.

Wrap-up: (Art Criticism and Assessment)

Display the art work of the students.

Ask them to look at their work and the work of their classmates.

Let them share their thoughts on their artwork, where did they have a hard time,which patterns do they like best, etc.

Ask them if they liked a pattern, shape or color from another persons work. Ask themwhat made that particular artwork looked pleasing.

o Was it because it was neat and the lines were clear?

o Did the artist color all the details well?

o Were the patterns intricate?

Conclude that all artwork made with effort is beautiful and as teacher, you appreciate

each one. Be sure to praise each one based on a specific strength.
