Before the class makes abstract art, they see contemporary examples and analyze them. They look at art made by abstract artists under the age of 33 then use similar techniques to create an interesting collection of their own. The lesson spans five sessions and includes discussion questions, art resources, vocabulary, and creative projects.
Learners explore the art of Piet Mondrian. In this abstract art instructional activity, students look at paintings by the Dutch painter and then follow the provided steps to create their own abstract art inspired by his works.
Third graders define the terms abstract and ambiguous as they relate to art. They analyze what makes some art abstract, compare the difference between non-objective and abstract art, and discuss whether abstract and non-objective pictures are actually art.
Students create abstract works of art using techniques learned from the artwork of Piet Mondrian, construction paper, pre-cut shapes, and glue in this early-elementary Art instructional activity. A great instructional activity to introduce the concept of Abstract art.
Students complete activities to learn about abstract art. For this abstract art lesson, students define related vocabulary and complete an abstract art drawing using a familiar picture from their lives. Students may watch a related video and take a tour of an museum to study abstract art.
Students examine abstract art. In this abstract art lesson plan, students define abstract art and view examples of abstract art. Students examine the art of Piet Mondrian and his use of straight and angular lines and geometric shapes. Students then paint their own abstract art.
Students analyze pictures of "The Family" by Moore (sculpture) or "The Scream" (painting). They then draw a cat or dog in an abstract form choosing traits, such as loyal, lazy, happy, and choose postures and colors that indicate that character trait.
Third graders examine a piece of art. They provide a fact and an opinion about the piece of art. They discuss the meaning of abstract art before an original example of their own. They make Halloween pumpkins by ripping construction paper and glue on another sheet of construction paper.
Students recognize and create abstract art.
Here are some wonderful lessons on art for your second graders. In them, learners focus on elements of abstract art, sculpture, and landscapes, study the works of four major artists, and create art of their own. This incredibly thorough, 24-page plan has everything you need embedded in it for successful implementation of the activities. The artwork produced by the kids should be fabulous! A most-impressive art lesson.
