Eagle Mosaic
Lesson Objective: Students will understand what a mosaic is a picture or decorative design made by setting small colored pieces, as of stone or tile, into a surface and how to create one. Students will know that shape in art is a 2D area defined by a boundary.
Essential Skill to be mastered: Students will create a mosaic into the shape of an eagle.
I can statement: I can create a mosaic into the organic shape of an eagle.
Teaching Strategy: To begin with I ask the students to think of something we in our world that a person can see that has no shape. After discussion I show the students a presentation on PowerPoint about shape and how it applies to art and in the world around us. I show good examples of the finished project to show students what is expected, and bad examples to show what I do not want to see. I use guided practice throughout the project to make sure students are staying on task and following instructions. I have instructions written on the board in case there is ever a question they want answered while I am with someone else.
