3. Assessment Evidence:
TSW create an abstract non-objective art work by using maps as a guide. TSW use finders to look for a composition of lines in the maps. When they have found a composition tsw use tracing paper to make a composition of the roads for lines, and areas of cities to be shapes.
4. Opening Hook:
Introduce students to abstract art by showing a 7 minute video on YouTube called βWhat is Abstract Art?β by Frank Curkovic
5. Instructional Strategies/Student Activities:
1. create finders to look for a composition of lines in a map
2. Enlarge the idea, on newsprint, to the size of the format they will be using 3. transfer the newsprint idea onto a matt board
4. Coil up paper towels and lay them in the areas for the roads, dip in white glue to adhere to the canvases. Use cardboard to
build up other areas. 5. Cover the entire board with sheets of toilet paper brushed with white glue
6. Let dry. 7 Paint with acrylic paint using a color scheme, neutrals, but make it very bright, more than you want. 9. Antique with oil paint black and a small amount of Van Dyke Brown. To antique you must paint oil paint over the entire area and
and then wipe off with a rag so that the texture is still there from the toilet paper and leave lover areas dark
10. When dry spray with crystal clear spray to bring out color and give a shine
