Japanese Notan During this lesson I taught an 8th grade class the positive and negative collage effects associated with the Japanese culture. This lesson involved the students choosing a color scheme and arranging them in their own unique design. The students prepared for the lesson by viewing Japanese notans and learning about the methods of collage. Japanese Notan Lesson Plan Japanese Notan PowerPoint
Patterns with the Masters During this lesson I taught an 8th grade class the principle of patterns. The students got to choose a famous artist and a specific work of art created by the artist. The students studied different techniques that the artist used and different patterns to apply themselves. This lesson involved using acrylic paint to capture the different patterns the students incorporated into the artists' work. Patterns with the Masters Lesson Plan Patterns with the Masters PowerPoint
Space Invaders During this lesson I taught a 3rd grade class a space invaders project with the use of pixels. The students watched a video that showed a city and objects being pixelized, which gave them a better idea what pixels are. The students then were given a grid and created their pixel space invaders. Math was integrated into the lesson by having the students count their pixels to figure out the area and perimeter of the space invaders. Space Invaders Lesson Plan
