Grade 7 Art Projects

This weekend I was thinking about some art lessons I would like to do for my grade 6/7s. I was looking online to get some inspiration or ideas and checking out the PLOs. I would looove to do these masks....they looks like a lot of work and a lot of fun....so we will see.....also a bit messy! (Which almost always means fun!) There were also some other neat ideas I will share with you on here:




1.

Here are the masks! Wicked right!! 


Mc D's Mask


Mario Mask

B3 analyse and apply a variety of materials, technologies, and processes to create artworks

A5 create 2-D and 3-D images
  • −  that convey personal or social
    beliefs and values
  • −  for specific purposes
  • −  that incorporate the styles of
    selected artists from a variety of social, historical, and cultural contexts 





    2. 

    This was a neat idea....Make a Facebook profile page for a famous Artist. 

    C2 assess the relationship between selected artists and their social, historical, and cultural contexts 






    3.

    B2 analyse and apply unity as created by combining visual elements in a coherent way
    A5 create 2-D and 3-D images
    • −  that convey personal or social
      beliefs and values
    • −  for specific purposes
    • −  that incorporate the styles of
      selected artists from a variety of social, historical, and cultural contexts 






    4. 

This one was using zentangle patterns to create landscapes. Pretty cool looking.
A4 create images using a variety of materials, technologies, and processes

I wish I had time to try all of these lessons because they look so interesting.  
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

  1. Ida-Mae I LOVE the mask idea! You should definitely try to undertake that task in your practicum! When I was younger my sister made similar masks in about grade 7 and I could not wait to make them two years later. But for some reason we never got to! If I had an older practicum grade I would totally roll with the mask idea! I think it would be an awesome idea for bringing to the Children's Art show as I imagine there will be lots of pictures and not as many other types of visual art.

  2. I made a mask for a play in grade 10 (my first real foray into drama) and I still have it. This would take a while to make, like seriously it could take a good 6 (or more) lessons/work periods to complete. That said, I agree with Milana, it would be a really cool addition to the art show and most students would probably keep their masks forever.

  3. We made masks in grade 7 and showed them off at grad! Like Milana, my older sisters got to make them in grade 7 and I couldn't wait to make mine (Spider-man). The masks is a great idea. It's such a memorable experience.

  4. Yeah I think i am going to talk to my CT about doing the masks! It might be fine to teach 6 lessons of fine arts? not too sure. Depends on how many fine arts lessons she teaches per week I guess.

  5. Really, our "prescribed" time for art is quite limited, which is one of the reasons I look for opportunities for integration. It is easier to undertake longer projects when you have your own classroom - you know that you are the one to make up the time in other subjects if you need to.

  6. Forgot to say what great activities these are and how well you have tied them to PLOs.
