In this Learning Element students will learn how to invoke feeling in the viewer through use of colour. They will develop a language for discussing their work, that of their peers and other Artists. Drawing, painting, and class discussions about Art. Learning Level Kindergarten and Year One, Ages; 5 to 7. Prior Knowledge Students have learnt some colour theory; warm and cool colours and mixing new colours. They have explored the use of line in drawing. Students have discussed different kinds of feelings and how books and movies impact on feelings. Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Our Class Kindergarten and Year One What We Already Know We know about warm and cool colours, and that we can make new colours by mixing two or more colours together. We have done some drawing and used different kinds of lines. We have talked about different kinds of feelings and how books and movies can make us feel. Sue Gorman • 6 The Green Stripe •6 As a result of completing this Learning Element, students will be able to: As a result of completing this Learning Element, you will be able to: Understand and value artistic works through talking about and making personal observations engaging in classroom and small group discussions Speak with purpose and effect by speaking audibly, with some sense of addressing an audience and the needs of listeners asking questions, contributing information and ideas, and expressing opinions relevant to the topic Talk about your art work and the work of others Speak clearly to the class or in a small group Ask questions and share what you know about the topic Understand and value artistic works through learning ways of describing their responses to artistic works Create artistic works through investigating details and characteristics of people through drawing Describe art works and how you feel about them using the language of Art Draw a picture of a face with attention to proportion and detail Understand and value artistic works through analysing ideas, meanings and moods, and their reactions and Analyse colour meaning and mood in an artwork. Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Sue Gorman • 7 The Green Stripe •7 feelings, created by artistic works Create artistic works through Using qualities such as colour and thickness to assist them to depict things Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Use colour and paint quality to create mood in a painting. Sue Gorman • 8 The Green Stripe •8 Throughout this Learning Element teachers are encouraged to use an observation grid or matrix to record evidence of oral language development based on teacher observation during discussions. Heading 1. Exploring faces Heading 1. What do we know about faces? Using a Think-Pair-Share strategy within a Circle-time structure, students look at others’ faces and feel their own before sharing what they know about facial features. Where possible use students’ knowledge to build the vocabulary of the class group (e.g. nostril, iris). What are the parts of a face? Think about then share what you know about faces. Heading 2. Drawing a face Heading 2. Drawing faces Resources: Cartridge paper and drawing pencils. Making The teacher leads students through a constructed face drawing. Direct students to observe and feel the features and contribute to an understanding of proportion. Model and encourage the use of the language of Mathematics (above, below, half, twice etc). Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Look at other students faces and feel your own to help you work out how to draw a face. Share what you know with the class. Make a drawing of a face which shows the main parts in the right place. Sue Gorman • 9 The Green Stripe •9 Heading 3. Sharing drawings Heading 3. Sharing circle Sharing Use a Sharing Circle structure for students to share their work. Begin with a Think-Pair-Share and invite students to comment on three things they like about their partner’s work. Model how this sounds: I like the way you used the pencil to show… You made the eyes look very real. Invite each student to share their work with the group and comment on one thing they like about their work. Share your drawing with a partner then with the class. Heading 4. Mood and Colour Heading 4. Feelings and colour Resources: Coloured paper, scissors, glue, and art or copy paper. How are you feeling today? Use the Circle-time structure to guide the discussion. Model the sentence starter: My name is ……and I’m feeling … … Make a class list of some of the feelings we have. Use your faces to show some of these feelings to a partner. Compile a list of feelings from the circle and invite students to extend the Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Sue Gorman • 10 The Green Stripe • 10 list. Where possible use students’ knowledge to build the vocabulary of the class group. What colours match some of these feelings? Use coloured paper to show which colours make you feel happy and sad. What other feelings can you show? Partner students then ask them to express facially (with gesture if appropriate) some of the feelings from the list. Ask students to think about which colours might match some of the feelings from the list and share with their partner. Students work individually to create a paper montage that expresses the colours that reflect different moods or feelings. Begin with feelings that have maximum contrast such as happy and sad before examining more subtle feelings. Heading 5. Theorising about colour Heading 5. Sharing work Resources: Students’ montages. Small collection of art reproductions (Matisse, Munch, Kirchner for example) which use either predominantly bright or dull colour schemes. Share your pictures on the display board and look for things that are the same. Share with a partner. What does this tell us about how colours and feelings are linked? Make a Share students’ Happy montages on a display board and ask students to look for things they have in common. Use a Think-Pair-Share strategy for class list of good words to use. students to discuss their interpretations, and then share with the whole Use a T-chart to show what you can see. class. Make a list of their descriptive language, and extend to include terminology such as warm, cool, bright, pale, dull etc. It may be Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Sue Gorman • 11 The Green Stripe • 11 necessary to explicitly teach these terms. Feels like Happy Looks like Use a T-chart to generalize cause and effect. For example: Feels like Happy Looks like Bright colours Check if this idea works when you look at paintings by other artists. Use words from the class list to talk about the paintings. Repeat for Sad montages and any subsequent ‘feelings’ montages. EITHER Organise students in groups of four (with at least one reader in each group) to test this theory by looking at artworks by artists such as Kirchner, Munch, Matisse. Students discuss the colour and mood and come to a consensus which they report to the whole group. Use the T-chart and select from the list of students’ descriptive language to model ways to describe works of art. OR Continuing with the same groups use the Silent Card Shuffle strategy for students to check their theory. Use a set of art images (postcards from the National Gallery of Australia work well for this activity), a set of cards each with one of the feelings words students generated previously and another set of card with words that describe colours (bright, bold, dull, pale, etc). The challenge is to match an image to a feeling and to a colour descriptor. At this age level some talking will be necessary as not all students will be able to read the words. For more explanation of this activity refer to the Innovative Teachers’ Companion2007 p88. Silent Card Shuffle. Your teacher will explain this activity. Use a Circle-time checkout to review student learning. Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Sue Gorman • 12 The Green Stripe • 12 Heading 6. The Green Stripe Heading 6. The Green Stripe Resources: Reproduction of The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse. Look at The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse. Share your thoughts with a partner. Listen to what others think. Review the T-charts and vocabulary list if necessary, before beginning this activity. Display the reproduction of The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse. Allow time for quiet reflection. Use the Think-Pair-Share strategy for students to share their observations. Remind students to use the vocabulary list to help them describe what they see. Share some responses with the whole class and reinforce appropriate use of language. What questions do you have about this painting? Look at the green stripe. What do you see on each side of the stripe? How does each side make you feel? Answer any questions students may have regarding this artwork. Direct students to look at the green stripe (if they haven’t already done so) and use prompting questions to lead a paired discussion. Use the T-chart model from above to record and compare responses for the two sides of the picture. Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Sue Gorman • 13 The Green Stripe • 13 The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse Heading 7. Analysing interests Heading 7. What about Mrs Matisse? Organise students in groups of four with at least one reader in each group. Use the T-chart to initiate a discussion of why Matisse would choose to paint his wife in this manner using prompting questions. Why would Matisse paint his wife like this? What would Mrs Matisse think of the portrait? And all the little Matisses? Would you like a picture of your mother to look like this? Why/why not? Sue Gorman The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings through Visual Arts Sue Gorman • 14 The Green Stripe • 14 Heading 8. Painting: Using colour to show feelings Heading 8. Painting Negotiate a simple assessment rubric with the class that includes use of colour, evokes feeling. Students complete their portrait by selecting colours to illustrate a particular mood. Complete your portrait by using colour to show feelings. Using a Sharing Circle students display their finished work and comment on its strengths and what they have learnt. Invite other students to share their observations and ideas. Check how you went on the Rubric. Share your work with the class and talk about what you learnt or did in your painting. Complete the Rubric. Heading 9. A picture book analysis Heading 9. A picture book Take students to the Library and provide them with an assortment of picture books to select from. In pairs, students examine a book and evaluate mood and use of colour in close-ups. With a partner, find a picture in a picture book and, talk about how the illustrator has used colour. Share your picture with the class. Students report to the class a selection from the book and their evaluation of an image within it.
