Students will identify form in art as geometric, organic or abstract. | After defining geometric, organic and abstract, display three dimensional works of art and have the students classify artworks and objects. Look at Renoir's Girl with a Watering Can. Have the students identify signs of spring. Use construction paper to make a cylinder for the watering can and then add a small cylinder for the spout, a handle and details. (ID) After reading Tuesday by David Wiesner, give each student a ball of clay (sphere - geometric). Create a pinch pot, then add eyes, a tongue and legs to make a frog (organic). (E) |
