Lesson Plans
By creating “yolk” slime with limited ingredients, learners will problem-solve by carefully measuring shampoo, cornstarch and water, and analyzing the differences in slime ingredient ratios, interact and explore new textures, benefit from social interactions, and gain experience in making artistic decisions by decorating their Humpty Dumpty egg before building a protective barrier to prevent it from cracking open.
Students will be able to safely cut and manipulate a piece of paper, with guidance, to create a form that resembles a creature/animal and expresses an emotion. They will further explore their feelings by identifying characteristics of an emotion with their peers through group discussion and application of color to indicate a particular emotion.
By considering why something orsomeone can be collectively considered as pretty/good/successful orugly/bad/unsuccessful by a group, students will review a seriesof artworks from abstract, minimalism pieces to surrealist to realism. We’lldiscuss social norms and standards of beauty to better understand the currentsocietal stance on what’s “pretty” and what’s “ugly”.
Artistic autonomy.
Collaboration.
Egg-secution.
