CDE Visual Art 6th Grade 2-2-B

Standard 2. Envision and Critique to Reflect

2.  Key concepts, issues, and themes connect the visual arts to other disciplines such as the humantities, sciences, mathematics, and technology

A. Use and discuss nature as a source of inspiration

Objective:  Students will draw a list of geometric shapes inspired by the work of Martin Puryear.  They will review the mathematical definition of geometric and compare it to the definition in visual art.

Warmup

While watching the video, draw 10 geometric shapes inspired by the artwork that you see.  (Teacher Notes:  Discuss the difference between geometric, organic, and non-representational/abstract shapes.  Use the definition from your school's math text book to compare/contrast the mathematical and visual art definitions of geometric)
