Primary Level: Grades K-3 Primary Standard: Number Sense
Use historical and current world maps to identify where the unit's artworks were created.
Independently or as a member of a collaborative group, develop the following:
- A timeline that shows the chronological order in which the unit's artworks were created
- A chart that classifies the unit's artworks by function (e.g., burial, useful and decorative, decorative only, ceremonial, protective)
- 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.
Primary 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.
