Why communities are important? Arts Integration unit for lower grades
(View Complete Item Description)First and second grade students will study diverse historic characters that have contributed to improve the community they lived in. Students will be guided to reflect on how these characters’ work has changed the world. Students will synthesize learning in writing and create a visual representation of their understanding of the topic. Consequently, they will present it to their classmates to receive and provide feedback to each other. The second part of the unit will incorporate students’ personal perspective about how to improve the community and what they would do to contribute to it. Students will follow same process as in the first part of the unit. They will complete the writing and visual piece to present to their classmates, explain their rationale and receive feedback from peers. During this unit, students will learn how to provide feedback and receive feedback in a respectful way that contributes to the learning environment.

New Angles on Art

In these lessons, students will explore the intersection of math and art in the works of two artists and one architect for whom mathematical concepts (lines, angles, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional polyhedra, fractions, ratios, and permutations) and geometric forms were fundamental.

Art Forms of Nature: The Ernst Haeckel Collection
(View Complete Item Description)Ernst Haeckel is a medical doctor, artist, philosopher, and naturalist of the late 1800s/early 1900s who beautifully and accurately depicted sea animal and plant life using color illustrations; you can find many examples of his sketches online through websites such as this one (Kuriositas, January 2012)and in his published works like Art Forms of Nature (1899). He promoted Darwin's theory of natural selection and created many words in the study of biology such as phylogeny and protist. I can see his work being used to inspire student observations, which are the basis of scientific discovery and study and as a supplement within specific units of biology including classification and evolution studies. I can also envision them being used during curriculum development within a professional development setting for teachers or a collaborative project integrating art and science instruction.

The Storyboard Artwork Project
(View Complete Item Description)In this project, you create educational materials for schools. If you like to draw human figures or if you have Poser or DAZ Studio, you can join. The artwork that you will create in this project turns Tux Paint into a storyboarding program. The artwork is a human figure viewed from many angles. Once you have drawn the artwork, you mask the figures so they can be used as "stamps" in Tux Paint for kids to create storyboards for motion pictures. These special stamps allow Tux Paint to work like a simple version of Storyboard Quick and Storyboard Artist. Hopefully, this project teaches you everything you need to know to create storyboarding stamps for Tux Paint.
