❤️ So what is special about this resource?
LINE and PATTERN WORD ART Drawing Lesson is NOT a superficial art or craft option. As a specialist in this field, I write lessons that encourage deeper, cross-curricular learning and make meaningful connections to other subject areas. This IS:
- a guided tutorial that includes the concepts of line, shape, repetition and patterns (Math),
- makes links to the concept of self and community (Who We Are & How We Organise Ourselves - IB).
- makes cross-curricular links to Visual Art, Back to School, New Beginnings and Learner Growth Mindset
Students can express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications, while working through the guided project. Pause the presentation in places to discuss next steps with students, check understanding and explore potential student responses or modifications, bringing personal creative ideas to the tutorial. This addresses the Viewing & Responding to artwork objectives in a purposeful way.
