PROJECT OVERVIEW:

In this unit, student artists create a landscape of somewhere they have always wanted to see and visit. They then learn about how color can change the ‘mood’ of a painting, and they use the sky and weather to establish that mood in their painting.

4th Grade

Scope & Sequence:

Lesson 1: In this lesson, student artists use GoogleMaps to ‘visit’ somewhere they have always wanted to visit. They use street view to capture and print a building that they will draw.

Lesson 2: In this lesson, student artists use their printout from Lesson 1 to begin a drawing. They use rulers and guide marks to help draw the general outline of the building, and they add details to help develop the specific drawing that they chose.

Lesson 3: In this lesson, student artists learn about mood in painting and how to create it using brushstrokes and color. They then paint their sky to determine the mood of their artwork.

Lesson 4: In this lesson, student artists choose whether or not to finish their artwork using analogous colors or complementary colors. They use a color wheel and mix their own colors according to their choice.

Lesson 5: Allow a fifth day entirely for finishing and refining work. 

Lesson 6: Optional. a final day for finishing.

Navigation tip: when you first go through the project, you must hit the 'mark complete' button, at the bottom of the page, to unlock the next lesson. After 'mark complete' has been hit, you've unlocked that lesson, and you can then use the sidebar to easily click to different lessons within the project (helpful if you are working through the project with more than one class).

Why do I need to hit mark complete? Certain lessons have email triggers (such as teaching tips when there is a painting lesson), and this helps us know when to send them. It also helps us track completion rates.

Our art projects are free. To access them: 

1. Enroll in any course with your email

2. Access courses you are enrolled in through your personal 'Artroom' at the top of the page.
