An IB Central Idea that we've been working with is Nature Can Inspire Creativity.
We've thought about how nature has inspired artists throughout time. From the first cave dwellers drawings of animals to African sculptures with depictions of nature, as well as now when we create art. When we look at nature, we see that it lends itself perfectly to organic and free-form shapes. What shapes can inspire us to create an artwork based on nature?
Vocabulary: free-form shapes, geometric shapes, organic shapes, collage, light pressure, hard pressure
Technique:crayon rubbing and collage
Skills: cutting, gluing, arranging a pleasing composition
Creativity First! ...here's to connecting children to art and art to their lives.
