Chit Snow NSU Arts

For this assignment, the students went on a scavenger hunt using their phones or other devices to capture elements and principles of daily life. Twelve photos were captured for elements and principles of art.  Elements of Art Line Principle of Art Emphasis Principle of Art Balance Principle of Art Movement Element of Art Color    Extension:  Elements and Principles Art Stations Materials: Art supplies (paper, markers, crayons, paints, etc.). Activity: Explain: Review the elements and principles of art with students. Stations: Set up different stations, each focused on one element or principle. Rotate: Students rotate through stations and complete short activities. Discuss: Reflect on what they learned. This activity provides hands-on experience and understanding of art concepts.

For this activity, we start by reading the book The Dot by Peter H Reynolds.  I used coffee filters, crayons, watercolors, and oil pastels to create my dot. The smiling face that was drawn was a white crayon. I drew the face first, and then I added yellow and green lines using crayons/oil crayons. After that, I used orange, green, and red for the watercolor. This activity was fun!  Extension: Dot-Inspired Writing Have students write a story or a poem inspired by their dot artwork. This integrates literacy with art and encourages students to express their thoughts and creativity through writing. Materials: Paper and pencils
