Lesson Two
Common Core Standard: Re:8.1.1a
The MOOD of a piece of art is the way it makes you feel.
Look through these three images - what is one word to describe how the image makes you feel. For example, does it make you feel lonely, happy, sad, excited...
EXTENSION: *If you have art supplies and some extra time* Create a piece of artwork that describes the way you're feeling.
"Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh
"The Scream" by Edward Munch
Lesson Three
Common Core Standard: Re:7.1.1a
Go outside or sit next to a window. What do you see outside? What words would you use to describe what you see? How does it compare to this painting? Are there any similarities? What is different?
EXTENSION: *If you have art supplies and some extra time* Draw what you see out your window. Feel free to add color or just draw with pencil.
