Show how artists use pattern in other ways like Matisse who used patterns in his backgrounds and Gustave Klimt who covered his figures with patterned clothing. Teacher compares example to work of Andy Warhol. Show on pattern composition example how two different designs are used. American pioneers also did the same thing; now quilts are considered an important art form even exhibited in museums.ĭiscuss how example uses elements of art: line, color, and value and principles of design: pattern, unity, and contrast taken from a contour line drawing. Tell how African Americans brought the idea of patterned quilts with them from Africa and made quilts for warm coverings by cutting up their worn out clothing. Show book Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold and a handmadequilt. Ask students to look around room for patterns or observe patterns in their clothing. Introduction and Motivation (Set):ĭefine pattern as elements of art (lines, shapes, colors, textures, and forms) that repeat in a regular manner. This lesson may be modified to last from 2 to 5 hours, depending upon size and complexity of expectations. Insulation sheathing cut in blocks (one for each student), brayers, glass plate or other smooth surface, cardboard patterns to make viewfinders (one for every four students), ballpoint pens, masking tape, notebook paper Time: #22-0529 Standard Size Crayons – Tuck Box (Optional) Tempera, brayer, emphasis, repetition, balance, proof, relief, color scheme, analogous, monochromatic, warm, cool, contrast, contour, line contrast or quality, negative shape, parallel, rubbing, insulation sheathing Materials: Advanced students may use complements or four colors includingmetallics. Students will apply color concepts to enhance print design. The student will learn to paint the sheathing with a brayer to create a patterned print that reveals good craftsmanship. Students will become familiar with relief printmaking process first with simple crayon rubbings followed by use of tempera and a relief plate made from inexpensive insulation sheathing. Student will understand printmaking as a way of producing multiple images. Students will become aware of emphasis, contrast, and balance in selecting two pattern designs. Students will discover pattern as a major concept in art history and become aware of pattern in works of Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse, and Gustave Klimt. Visual Arts Grades 9-12 Content Standard 6: Making connections between visual arts and other disciplines Math Cross Curriculum Connection Purpose: Visual Arts Grades 9-12 Content Standard 4: Understanding the visual arts in relation to history and cultures Visual Arts Grades 9-12 Content Standard 1: Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes Student will demonstrate knowledge of relief printing. Student will demonstrate knowledge of line quality, value, color, balance, emphasis, contrast, and pattern. The student will learn printmaking skills and terminology. The student will use compositional concepts to appropriate two areas of a contour drawing to etch lines into a printing plate.

Two portions of drawing will be transferred to and etched into a printing plate made from insulation sheathing. The student will successfully print a patterned composition appropriated from a blind contour line drawing.
