A Geometric Safari
geometric safari.m4vMission : Students will merge geometry and imagination to create abstract animal compositions, exploring how shape and color can define movement, personality, and form in a dynamic composition.
Grades : 6–9 | Duration : 60 min
Learning Objectives :
Recognize and apply geometric shapes in artistic composition
Use color contrast and shape relationships to convey energy and rhythm
Develop digital or mixed-media collage skills inspired by natural forms
COLOR & PATTERN IN DAZZLE CAMO
COLOR & PATTERN IN DAZZLE CAMO
I’d like to introduce color and pattern as its displayed in Dazzle Camouflage. This was a technique developed during WWI to obscure large ships and planes, disrupting the likelihood of them from being spotted and tracked visually in the open air and water. The vessels were painted in bold clashing color and multi directional patterns.
Lesson Plan :
describe and present examples of static vs kinetic patterns, opening discussions on the effect of each
collect examples of pattern and color from media
create and scan collage
use hue/saturation/lightness to adjust the image
print the final camo pattern
use a silhouette to cut the print to the shape of the object
two pieces are created one positive space one negative space
discuss what happens when we close a shape around these patterns
remember this exercise is a departure point not a destination
