Lesson 1:Pattern & Line Landscapes
Lesson 1: Pattern&line Landscapes
Lesson and Relevance
Students will be creating a landscape scene using line and pattern to fill in the space. They will only be able to use different pattern and line techniques to create their scene. They will use line, pattern, value and shape to create their landscapes. In the end their art work will be part of Art to Remember which is a fundraiser for the Cambridge Elementary School.
​
Concepts
-Line
-Shape
-Pattern
-Value
-Color
Essential Understanding!
Using line and pattern, they will transfer those concepts to the landscape that they have created. They will have to also think about space, and color when creating their landscape. They will also need to pay attention to the composition of the piece to make sure that they have used the space and technique of line and pattern in their piece.

Objectives/ Learning Targets
​
-
After brainstorming their ideas, Students will start their sketch of their plans for their final drawing, using shape and composition. (Visual Art Standard #3 Invent and Discover to create. GLE: Utilize the practice of sketching and planning. Art Learning: Composition and shapeVocab: line and Pattern)
-
With their Sketch, Students will start their final drawing by transferring their drawing to their final page. (Visual Art Standard #1 Observe and Learn to Comprehend. GLE: Transferring their ideas to their final page. Art Learning: Transferring and design. Vocab: Line and shape)
-
With their final drawing, Students will create their landscape using only line and pattern to create their value. ( Visual Art Standard #4 Relate and Connect to Transfer. GLE: Focusing on line and pattern to create value on the landscape. Art Learning: Pattern, and Value. Vocab: Color and Value).
-
Using their drawing, they will create shading and value using crayons to create the final step in their project. (Visual Art Standard # 3 Invent and Discover to Create. GLE; Creating Shading in their line and patterns to create value. Art Learning: Shading and Value. Vocab: Shading and Value)
-
After finishing their project, students will pair share with their table mates about their landscapes. (Visual Art Standard #2Envision and Critique to Reflect.GLE: Student will share their work in a pair share. Art Learning: Critique and Reflections. Vocab: Critique and Reflection
Differentiation:
Access:
-
Hand out of line and pattern
Expression (Products and/or Performance)
-
Students can refer to the handout that is give to reference for ideas on line work and pattern
Extensions for depth and complexity:
Access (Resources and/or Process)
-
Creating this on procreate or digital source
-
Having the student come up with their own pattern
Expression (Products and/or Performance):
-
Student will create their landscape on procreate and then upload that as their piece
-
Giving the student the time to create their own patterning.
Motivation Questions
Can someone give me an example of a landscape? Maybe a place where you went hiking with a friend or family?
Who likes to play outside? Maybe ride your bike or roller skate? If you have ever been to the beach remember the sand between your toes, or the mountains where you can smell the fresh pine trees?
Inquiry questions
-What are some different line work that we might be able to do?
-What are some ways that we can use pattern that will add to our landscape?
-Are you using cool colors, like blues, greens, purples? Or are you using warm colors, like oranges, yellows, and reds.

Student Reflection Activity
On the last day giving student the choice to pair share with their table partners and share about their work. And what pattern, and line work that they created. And one thing that is their favorite about the piece.
Teacher Reflection
Overall, I think this lesson went well! I wish I would have found some more ways to have my students have more of a connection to the project. And I wish I would have spent some more time on different lines and patterns! The students seemed to like the project, but I think I would have changed some of the project and added different materials like paint or water color.
