Writing About Art Literacy Mat

(3)
Use this literacy mat to support writing about art. Simply ask your students to write a sentence about each of the categories e.g. line, tone/value, texture etc using the adjectives provided. This has been designed to work with any artwork. A good example is also included on the place-mat using a painting by Klimt. This 3-page download includes: An Art Literacy Mat for the UK A version for the USA (to account for different spellings) A lesson plan for how to use the mat. I always tell students that they don’t need to limit themselves to the words on the list, so this provides support for those who need it but also lets other students fly! This is also ideal for gallery education. www.TheArtyTeacher.com

Mark Making to Music

(1)
This presentation and lesson plan combine to make a superb cross-curricular art/music lesson. View the presentation with your students to look at mark making in figurative and abstract artworks. The presentation includes a script with questioning. Then complete marking making to music with your students. The lesson plan includes a starter (which is the presentation), demonstration, development, plenary and 4 suggested homework tasks. This would fill a lesson which is 50mins - 1hr. Just add music!

Learning Objective: To practice careful observation and detailed drawing. Complete the detail on the blank half of the crab. There are three versions of this. A plain one, one with a title, and one with 8 spaces to add keywords. These keywords could describe the crab. This could fit into a mark making project or a natural forms project.
