Preparation
Lesson Narrative
This lesson gives students an opportunity to look at the shapes in artwork from different cultures. Students may recognize some shapes with which they have worked throughout this unit and may also describe and use shapes with which they are unfamiliar. After looking at different examples, students make their own artwork, using shapes. The title of each piece of art is provided for students interested in learning more about the artwork and the cultures they represent. The teacher may choose other artwork to share with the class that includes shapes students can recognize.
The activities in this lesson can be done over the course of two lessons to allow students more time to explore and discuss the provided artwork and create and share their own.
