Key Concept-Goal: The student will use the technique of straw blowing to create the design and fill in the areas blown with brush. The idea is to have a spontaneous look to the design. Vocabulary: water color, brush, blend, design, balance, wash. Essential Skills-Objectives-Art Aims: The student will be able to create a water color picture using brush and a straw. *express the differences among materials, techniques, and processes. *know lettering techniques. *apply different media techniques and processes to communicate ideas, experiences, and stories. *utilize art materials and tools in a safe and responsible manner. *identify, recognize, and apply the principles of design in students’ works, e.g. unity, repetition, variety, movement, emphasis, balance, and proportion. *create works in a variety of three-dimensional media. *recognize career opportunities related to art. Engagement Activities- Procedure: The student will use very wet watercolor and drop a small droplet of color on the paper. They will then use the straw to blow the design. They will fill the paper with a pleasing arrangement of lines. They will work on a second picture while the first one dries. Then they will go back to the first one and fill in the areas with light washes of color. Materials: white paper, newspaper, watercolor sets, brushes, straw. Organization for distribution: grocery line. Work period-guidance: Make sure they don’t blow so hard that they get a headache. Blowing lightly will work just fine. Cleanup: Put name on bottom with pen or pencil, put wet paper on rack. Newspaper goes back into box, brush in the sink, watercolor sets stacked by the sink. Assessment-Evaluation: Neatness will make a difference. Balance of colors, interesting design. Other Teaching Aids and Resources: examples on the board. Magazines: School Arts; Arts and Activities, Textbook: Discover Art., Examples and Visuals. Higher Order Thinking Skill Questions:? How does using the straw create a more free flowing design?

Did the students compare and contrast works of art from different time periods and give examples of how early works influenced works of modern art? Advanced: Did the students compare and make judgments about the different art productions and media used to create them? Did the students justify and value the art as it relates to other disciplines in the curriculum and learn how art supports and combines with other disciplines in the curriculum?
