4th Grade Shaded Forms 4th grade has been learning about the elements of art, FORM & VALUE. Form is a three-dimensional geometrical figure (like a sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.), as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat. Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. (this project was inspired by an awesome image i found on Marnie Hyland's blog! Check out their awesome art!) Day 1: I demonstrated how to do the project. (I project all of my lessons on a giant screen, so everyone can see.) We talked about value and how to make a basic shape look 3-d. We talked about light sources, and shadows, and I demonstrated how to shade and add highlights to their shapes with chalk pastels. We used chalk for the black and oil pastels for the white. After my demo was over, the students chose their colors for their papers, we passed out the shape tracers, and the students got to work! Day 2: The students continued to add value to their shapes, and assembled their backgrounds. The background consists of one piece of 12 x 18" construction paper, and one piece of 4.5 x 12". After they finished shading and adding highlights, the cut out the pieces and assembled them to their background. After they glued on their "sculpture" they were supposed to shade the "table" underneath the shapes. (This project took at least 3 45 minute classes to complete.)

I recently started doodling these funky organic forms stacking upon one another. The forms were relaxing and calming to draw. I really got lost in this. As an art teacher, I loved all the different art concepts drawing helps to develop. Some of these concepts include: organic free form, curvy 3d forms scale/size/proportion value This
A Form in Art is a three-dimensional defined space that has defined depth. In Visual Arts a Form is a three-dimensional representation of an object drawn on a two-dimensional plane.
Sliced and Diced Form Drawing-Students will draw the 6 Basic 3D forms: Sphere, Cylinder, Donuts, Cone, Pyramid, & Cube/Rectangular Prism. They will learn how to accurately “slice” through the forms to see inside them and render with full shading. They will then create a composition using cuts and slices of the 6 basic shapes.
Here are a few sheets outlining the process and results for the homework this week. I put these together so you could keep track of how...

This set includes 17 colorful forms that are beautifully illustrated and colorful. They provide lovely and simple inspiration for the form to work on for the week. This set focuses on Celtic and Norse Knots. What is Form Drawing? Creative form drawing helps children develop hand-eye co-ordination, spatial orientation, observations skills, confident movement, drawing skills and the foundations of handwriting. It can also be used as a meditative practice. Originally developed by Rudolf Steiner, creative form drawing is widely used in private, charter and homeschools all over the world! Included: 1 file with small form drawing cards, 6 to a page and 1 file with large form cards, 2 to a page. Best printed on cardstock or watercolor paper. To learn more about this practice, read this wonderful article! http://www.waldorflibrary.org/images/stories/articles/formdrawing.pdf

After nearly a decade of teaching secondary students, I've had a lot of time to test out a variety of 2d art projects. Let's face it: as teachers, sometimes we plan and plan and plan. We are so excited to deliver the project, and then... it flops. Students are uninterested and the final products aren't

After a decade of teaching high school art, I've recently moved to teaching middle school art. It's a blast and there is truly NEVER a dull moment. Through some trial and error, I've learned that some projects are more engaging than others. Below are some of my favorite middle school art projects that have yielded
