Intermediate Level: Grades 4-5

Intermediate Standard: Shape, Space, and Measurement

Determine whether an artwork is two- or three-dimensional and how a two-dimensional surface can create the illusion of space.

To complement study of the Presentation Box and the concept of perspective, draw a three- dimensional object from different points of view.

Identify patterns, positive and negative shapes, and geometric shapes as elements of artworks.

Identify symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns observed in the unit's artworks.

Use historical and current world maps to identify where the unit's artworks were created.

Intermediate Standard: Chance and Data Handling

Independently or as a member of a collaborative group, develop the following:

  1. A timeline that shows the chronological order in which the unit's artworks were created
  2. A chart that classifies the unit's artworks by function (e.g., burial, useful and decorative, decorative only, ceremonial, protective)
  3. A chart that classifies the unit's artworks by medium (e.g., painting, sculpture, printmaking) and technique (e.g., etching, additive/subtractive, assemblage).

Select two artworks from the same category (e.g., Hero Myths) in the online Mythological Comparisons chart, and develop a chart that compares the artworks according to these categories: medium and technique, function, size, cultural origins, and style.
