Unit Overview:
Curriculum unit enables students to combine a variety of media to create meaningful images from their personal context, in conjunction with some form of transportation from their community. The students focus on the elements of line and tone in their drawing; the elements of texture, shape, and color in their torn paper work; and the principles of repetition, movement and balance in their finished collage.
Lesson Overviews:
After discussing feet as the first means of transportation, students create images of shoes, with attention to various design elements.
Students create transportation-based collages from magazine and catalog cut-outs.
Students create a footprint collage from their shoe prints using personal experiences with tissue paper, construction paper, and prints.
